Modern sacrificies has a unique take on the stories we've learned from the bible. The book begins with Mary and Joseph as high school students trying to make it through the pressures of normal, every-day teenagers while building their relationship with God. After graduation they venture off into the unknown and then begins the story of Jesus, from an infant into adulthood. The reader can visualize the many obstacles that Jesus faced from a different prospective as though He lived during our times. Overall this book has a refreshing twist on the story of Jesus. Great read!

This book is a great read. It reminds me of the movies "Bruce Almighty" and "Evan Almighty," but a non-comical version. It is the story of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus in a modern day setting. I really like how the author focused on Mary and Joseph just as much as she did on Jesus. It really makes you think about the sacrifices and obstacles the young couple faced. The reason the book only got four stars is because there are a couple gramatical errors, which are hard for me to get past. I'm sure the editing company just overlooked them, but if there were no gramatical errors and it was formated perfectly, it definitely would have recieved 5 stars. The story itself is amazing, just some errors to get past.
