See all formats and editions
Joseph Girzone, who so powerfully captured the spirit of Jesus in his Joshua novels and in his best-selling A Portrait of Jesus, brings his work to a beautiful culmination with this retelling of the life and work of Jesus, based on the accounts in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Girzone captures the greatest story ever told in language that will open the hearts of readers from all backgrounds. From the birth of the Messiah to the wedding at Cana, the Sermon on the Mount, the Passion, and the triumphant Resurrection, each episode and lesson from the life of Jesus is rendered with wisdom and freshness.

Editorial Reviews

Review

''Girzone uses Jesus' relationships with both God and others to define just what intimacy with God actually looks like.'' --Publishers Weekly

''Girzone draws on the wisdom of the centuries, writing [with] humanity and spirit.'' --Kirkus Reviews

''Based on the Gospels, the life and lessons of Jesus -- from birth to resurrection -- are retold in Jesus. Todd's rendering adds majesty to the words.'' --Booklist

5.0 out of 5 stars Good reminder of who Jesus is.
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2012

I went to a Lutheran grade school and learned all the bible stories, starting in Kindergarten. So for me, this book was just a reminder of the stories about Jesus, but they were told in a very easy to understand fashion. I had read the book Joshua, written by Joseph Girzone, and really enjoyed that, so I thought I would give this book a look. I was hoping for a little more input of ideas from the author, but he told the stories pretty much the same way that the Bible tells them. Not that that's a bad thing for someone trying to learn about Jesus. But for me, I was looking for more of his personal opinion on the subject matter, since Jesus spoke using metaphors and parables, it's refreshing hearing how other people explain them, the way they understand them to be, this was not the case though. I believe somebody else had brought up this point also. It's still worth the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars great summary for nonchristians
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2011

the bible may be too repetitive, long and fraught with religious preconceptions for nonchristians to read. this book will allow everyone to share the teachings of one of the most amazing beings who ever walked the earth. even if you have disagreements about the nature of jesus, its hard to argue against the moral weight of his teachings. the conciseness of this book will allow you to learn about his teachings in a straightforward and quick way. the theology you can leave to the organized religions to hash out. (in the same vein, try deepak chopra's the third jesus).

This book is written in such a fashion that the words in the bible are easily understandable. Common terminology and words are used to paraphrase the words of the bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Matt, Mark, Luke, John,& Joseph Girzone tell Jesus' Story
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2000

It is a wonderful read! The story of Jesus pooled together by Fr. Girzone and the Friends of Jesus, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. A smooth telling of the life of Jesus that allows one who is a "beginner" or "expert" of the Gospels to envision the life of Jesus through a flowing account.

2.0 out of 5 stars I would not recommend this book
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2016

I am a big fan of the Joshua series written by Joseph Girzone and expected a lot more from this book which is merely a regurgitation of the four canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in linear format. As a Roman Catholic Permanent Deacon who teaches bible study, I would not recommend this book.
