The life of Christ, rewritten by award-winning storyteller, Walter
Wangerin, in the form of a novel. Wangerin's much-acclaimed retelling of
the Bible as a novel, The Book of God, has sold over 1.5 million copies
in 21 languages worldwide. The story is told by two of Jesus' closest
confidantes - his mother Mary and his beloved disciple. Together, they
provide a compelling account of Jesus' revolutionary ministry, as his
loyal following and the opposition against him increases daily. At the
height of his popularity, he is handed over to his enemies. Yet this act
of cowardice will enable Jesus to fulfil his ultimate mission! Faithful
to the gospel accounts and expertly retold, this is an engrossing read
for all intrigued by the person of Jesus - non-Christians and Christians
alike.
