Faith
Life. Tradition. Love.
Even by modern standards, John looked like something of a wild man.
He was dressed in rags.
His diet consisted of locusts and wild honey.
To the upper crust of society, his rantings about repentance and penance were beginning to wear thin. And yet the common folkswarmed to him …
