A Quickie Book Review



I finished this book last week. It is excellent.

It is written in the first person from Jesus' perspective. It chronicles his life from leaving his exile in Egypt, the journey back to Israel and eventually to Nazareth. Then again to Jerusalem.

It was interesting. You get to think in a whole different way what some of the struggles might be growing up as Jesus, as well as what it might be like to be a peasant Jewish person in Galilee.

A must read.

That sound very interesting. Was it really long? I would think so.

Looks about 400 pages. Is it only one part?

It is a little under 300 hundred pages...with the last part being an afterward of her personal story.

She is the one that does vampire novels until now...like Interview with a Vampire.
