"The Blind Beggar of Jericho" by Favell Lee Mortimer is a religious children's book written in the mid-19th century. It explores the biblical story of a blind beggar who seeks healing from Jesus as he passes by, emphasizing themes of faith, mercy, and the importance of prayer. The narrative is structured to impart moral lessons to young readers, encouraging them to reach out to Jesus for help. The story begins with a blind man sitting on the roadside, who, upon hearing a crowd approaching, learns that Jesus is nearby. Despite being discouraged by the crowd when he cries out for mercy, the blind man persistently calls for Jesus until he is heard. Jesus calls him forward and, upon his request to receive sight, heals him with compassion. The beggar then joyfully follows Jesus, illustrating the transformation from despair to hope through faith and divine intervention. The book not only retells this miraculous event but also appeals to children to engage in daily prayers, highlighting the love of Jesus and the importance of seeking forgiveness and spiritual guidance.
