Walter Wangerin's much-acclaimed retelling of the Bible as a novel, The Book of God, has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. Master storyteller Walter Wangerin now turns his attention to the life of Jesus Christ in this gripping new novel. The story starts with the young Jesus attending Passover in Jerusalem, where his mother tells him about the extraordinary events surrounding his birth. The focus then moves to Jesus' ministry - his miracles, preaching and parables - and his interaction with a wide range of people before he starts the journey to Jerusalem for his final Passover, culminating in his crucifixion and resurrection. Faithful to the gospel accounts and expertly retold, this is an engrossing read for all intrigued by the person of Jesus - Christians and non-Christians alike.
