No, it's a flop!

It' s the story of Christ written in a different way. So not that wonderful. I love this author but not his best book.

  This book was fantastic! It has a great setting, Jerusalem during the week of Passover (yes, that particular week). The story is told from the point of view of an upper class Jewish gentleman who is visiting relatives in town for the festival. He is searching for something, but he had no idea that what he would find would be a carpenter from Galilee with a message he can't ignore. This is a must read. Thanks to Carol and Tom for suggesting it!

  This is a well-told story of two men: one seeking forgiveness and the other Jesus Himself. The case put forward by C.S. Lewis is reiterated here: either Jesus was a lunatic or He is Lord.

  This is a well-told story of two men: one seeking forgiveness and the other Jesus Himself. The case put forward by C.S. Lewis is reiterated here: either Jesus was a lunatic or He is Lord. If you've read lots of books about Christ (fiction & nonfiction both), you may find the story drawn out a little long with the many scenes taken straight from Scripture, but for those who aren't as familiar with Jesus, what He said, and what He was like, the scenes are compelling as Jesus is presented as compassionate and wise. After so many detailed scenes, it's almost anti-climactic that the crucifixion is not described in as much detail nor the resurrecton. Of course, they're an important part, but they're not dealt with in the same moment by moment, comment by comment way that the other scenes are done. The narrator withdraws and refers back to what happened but in a much more detatched way than earlier scenes. I'm not saying this is good or bad; I just noticed it because it seemed like a sudden shift in style or focus. (show less)
