From Publishers Weekly
In another of her elegant-looking picture books, Mayer (The Twelve Apostles) illuminates Jesus' character, personality and teachings. The text consists chiefly of an amalgam of quotes attributed to Jesus in the Gospels; a variety of Bible versions are the sources. The language is contemporary and accessible, if not always poetic ("Don't pass judgment, and you won't be judged"; "Notice how the wild lilies grow: They don't slave and they don't spin"). Focusing on Jesus as a spiritual teacher rather than savior, Mayer informally groups quotes according to such unstated themes as Jesus the champion of children and Jesus the shepherd. Paintings, mostly European and post-Renaissance, appear throughout the volume. Though the accumulation of similar quotes can be slightly overwhelming, young readers will certainly take away a clear impression of Jesus' emphasis on selfless love, compassion and forgiveness. All ages.

From School Library Journal
Grade 1 Up-Using a number of biblical translations, including the King James, the Jerusalem, the New Revised Standard, and the Revised English versions, Mayer has assembled and interpreted in graceful language some of Jesus's most memorable sayings and keys to his basic theology. All are beautifully mounted on double-page spreads; illustrated with a variety of carefully chosen, richly colored art reproductions; and set in handsome, well-spaced typeface. Gold endpapers and gold-framed pages add further elegance to the format. The paintings span six centuries, from Leonardo da Vinci's Head of the Saviour to Julia Condon's Flame Emerging from Water (1997). Brief explanatory introductions to the quotations provide continuity, and sources are documented. An enhancement to most religion collections.
