Decent read,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shorter Life of Christ, A (Paperback)
I bought this book for a class I am taking for college. I find it to be a decent read, with many good points about Jesus life. It can be somewhat difficult to get through at times (I am very picky about print types, and his is not usually what I enjoy) but it is easy to understand and helps define things you may never have been able to previously.
