Having read all of Fr. Girzone's other books, I thirst for each of his new offerings. This book did not disappoint me. His ability to inject warmth and a personal perspective transform the Gospels from a more historical context to making the reader feel as though they were part of a beautiful story.

Anyone who has felt a bit arm's length when reading Scripture will find that they are welcomed into God's story as part of it. Fr. Girzone's writings continue to help bring my God closer to me.....and for that I thank him.....eternally.

It is a wonderful read! The story of Jesus pooled together by Fr. Girzone and the Friends of Jesus, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. A smooth telling of the life of Jesus that allows one who is a "beginner" or "expert" of the Gospels to envision the life of Jesus through a flowing account.

This book is a beautiful and simple way to read about Jesus' life. Great for people who find it hard to follow the Bible and also for those who need a fresh look at the life of Jesus.

All of the Girzone books I have read are wonderful. So refreshing and uplifting. Also, easy to read and understand.

I highly recommend this book.

the bible may be too repetitive, long and fraught with religious preconceptions for nonchristians to read. this book will allow everyone to share the teachings of one of the most amazing beings who ever walked the earth. even if you have disagreements about the nature of jesus, its hard to argue against the moral weight of his teachings. the conciseness of this book will allow you to learn about his teachings in a straightforward and quick way. the theology you can leave to the organized religions to hash out. (in the same vein, try deepak chopra's the third jesus).

Fr. Girzone provides a well rounded theology in his presentations of the teachings of Christ. He takes the writings of the Gospels and places them into a context that we as God's people can use and follow in our everyday life. At times Fr. Girzone may not follow the conservative message that is taught in our modern church, but he does provide thought provoking ideas that lead to a better concept of what Jesus was trying to tell us. I recommend any book written by Fr. Girzone.
