A Portrait of Jesus

Retired priest Girzone, author of the best-selling Joshua stories, gives a simple narrative account of Jesus' life, envisioning facets of the person reflected in the gospel stories and painting a lively portrait of a man who understood human frailty to its depths. Girzone's admiration for the unconditional love of Jesus gives him cause on occasion to be critical of conventional church morality. This will appeal to readers who want a devotional approach to Jesus' life rather than an examination of his ministry on Earth through careful biblical study.
