The Road to Cana

The Road to Cana, a novel about the early life of Christ leading up to his public ministry was so compelling that I found it difficult to put down. The author who is evidently very knowledgeable about scripture and deeply committed to presenting Christ honestly, succeeds in helping us to experience Jesus in an intimate and deeply personal way. To write a novel in which Jesus speaks to us in the first person is a courageous act but one that the author is totally up to doing. She writes beautifully and I really found myself being transported back to the people and events in Christ's life that are not presented to us in the gospels. I especially loved meeting his earthly father Joseph who receives little attention in the gospels. Fascinating too was her treatment of Christ's baptism in the Jordan, His incredible encounter with the devil in the desert and His transformation of water into wine at the wedding in cana. As a believer in Jesus Christ and one of his followers I was thankful for the opportnity to read this book and I look forward to Anne Rice's next novel about Jesus Christ.

Lightning strikes agian

Who knew right? Anyway I thought Christ the Lord good but I felt that it was just a fluke or something. Here Rice actually has the foundations of a promising series. The transition of Yeshua bar Joseph from village carpenter to the son of God is something that deserves to be read.

I also have to congratulate the author on giving the little town of where Jesus grew up a life of its own the people have life and even a sense of humor that part of the book was actually very surprising.

Wonderful Book

Who would have ever thought that the "Vampire Chronicles" author could turn out such a beautiful work of art. Truly gives one a sense of what 100% God and 100% man must have been like. Cannot recommend this highly enough.

Typically excellent Anne Rice writing

I have been reading Anne Rice for years, and I am pleased to say that this 2nd book in the most recent trilogy is excellent and thought provoking. I can't wait until the 3rd book comes out!!!

Christ the Lord

This is also an excellent book continuing where the previous one stopped.
Anne Rice is an amazing author. I never read her previous books as I don't like vampires. Even though it's a novel, it's very believable and
good reding.
