Christian Book Previews
Jesus: An Intimate Portrait is a work of explosive magnitude that mediates between the greatest story ever written and the reader's quest for understanding that story. It makes the account real, personal, and vivid to the reader. By fictionalizing the possible thoughts of the Biblical figures, it brings the people to life, presenting them more realistically, more human, and with greater interaction....It is truly a wondrous effort and a lasting experience for anyone who reads it. Bravo, for your insight, research, and courage.
