Yamin

Yamin – ya-min (‘jæmɪn) [YA-min]

Origin: Hebrew for variant spelling of Yamiyn, meaning “the right hand,” “the right side,” or “the right quarter.” As in, the starboard side of a vessel.

Two-thousand years ago, on the ancient shores of the Sea of Galilee, fishermen and their families coped with severe weather, oppressive rulers, and aggressive rivals in a struggle to survive.

Yamin, the teenage son of a dying fisherman, must contend with these trials and being alone … for now. His wealthy best friend always had more and the ambitious young woman Yamin desires wants nothing to do with him. Yamin’s jealousy, depression, and self-pity drive him away from all he has known and loved into a dark and demented world.

While trying to escape his seemingly cursed life, Yamin encounters corrupt Roman soldiers, revenge-driven pirates on the Mediterranean Sea, and a Legion of depraved souls of which only the Son of God can contend (Mark 5:1-20).
