The author tells the story in such a way that you feel as though your right beside the little boy seeing all that he is seeing & feeling all that he is feeling.And when he comes face to face with Jesus after they have nailed His feet & hands to the cross you will ask yourself how could He love us so much & willing suffer all that He suffered for someone as undeserving as I.This is a book that will make you feel the love of God!

I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ at the age of 12. This was the first Christian Book that I read. It really made a great and lasting impression on my life and drew me into the life of Christ. So much so, that I am buying it to read it to my 6 year old daughter.

This heartfelt story places the reader alongside a disfigured little boy who is responsible to provide comfort for prisoners meeting their death by placing a sponge next to their mouths as they perish. The sponge has been soaked in vinegar and herbs. This sad, orphaned child had heard of the Messiah and hoped that this healer might see his face and heal him. The little boy never dreams that it would be Christ's face that he sees in a life-changing encounter.

Ordered this book because it was on the reading list for our homeschool co op. my son was in third grade and It was over his head. I would recommend it for 6 th grade and up. It was enjoyable and well written!
