An experience of wonder,
By
This review is from: The Faces of Jesus: A Life Story (Hardcover)
If occasionally you find that the stories of Jesus found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have become so familiar they fall flat, this book will help you experience the wonder of reading them again as if for the first time. The faces of Jesus, his "ways of being and being seen" are illuminated in six chapters: Annunciation, Nativity, Ministry, Last Supper, Crucifixon, and Resurrection. The focus of the faces of Jesus is that whatever else he may have been, he was a man once and had a "man's face, a human face."

Moving text crowned by images of Jesus's face in world art.,
By "zipppity" (Northern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Faces of Jesus (Paperback)
The Faces of Jesus is a beautiful art book and an inspirational Christian text written by one of the world's great theologians and authors. Buechner's text highlights the life of Jesus and raises goosebumps as the story comes alive in a new and beautiful way. Surrounded by some of the great artwork of the world and some not so readily known images it captures the face of this mysterious man and brings a sense of the spirit here and now. It will take your breath away and open you to the breath of God anew.

Buechner's Jesus,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Faces of Jesus: A Life Story - Paperback (Paperback)
Frederick Beuchner seldom dissapoints. This is true of this delightfully poetic view of Jesus' life. Based on some of the more famous pictures of Jesus by various artists, the paper back edition, while handy to have and easily portable lacks the charm of the larger hard cover original edition which contains reproductions of the art work. Typical of Buechner's immently readable style, this book delights the senses while deepening the faith.
