a great book about jesus  

Hi lotters and as we are approaching Holy Week I wanted to share a book I have been reading during this lent season. It is called Jesus : A Novel by Walter Wangerin Jr.
It is the story of Jesus and not like the De Vinci Code BS. This is the true story of Jesus told from when He was born until that glorious day He died on the cross and rose again in three days for all of our sins.

The author uses a lot of The Bible in it what he adds to it is the emotional feelings of Mary, Jesus, Joesph, etc. I will give you one example I don't want to give anything away. As you recall when Jesus was a boy He went to the temple. Mary and Joesph couldn't find him. The way the author writes it he lets you know how scared Mary and Joesph were and how they were running around and up to people asking them if they had seen their son.

This is a very moving book and it really captures not only the love God and Jesus has for us but also the love this author has for God and Jesus as well. You can feel how strong this man's faith is. It really speaks to your heart.

I was going to put this in the reading interest but it is so moving and powerful I think this is the perfect interest to put it in. Would love to hear from anyone if you have already read this book. If you have don't give a lot away from someone who hasn't read it yet. I have been telling my friends and there are going to get it.

Please keep all comments respectful if you are not interested in Jesus or don't believe in Him fine. This post is for the believers and I want to share it with them. If you are interested you can check it out at the library that is where I found this beautiful book. I am also planning on reading a couple other books this man wrote. Paul: A Novel & The Book Of God : The Bible As A Novel

Peace Be With You
