8 posts | 46 read | 14 to read
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE With the Holy Land in turmoil, seven-year-old Jesus and his family leave Egypt for the dangerous road home to Jerusalem. As they travel, the boy ponders the mysteries surrounding his birth. Anne Rices dazzling, kaleidoscopic novel, based on the gospels and the most respected New Testament scholarship, summons up the voice, the presence, and the words of Jesus, allowing him to tell his own story as he struggles to grasp the holy purpose of his life. Praise for The Young Messiah [An] intensely literal, historical, reverent treatment of a year in the life of Jesus, Son of God.Time Brilliant and tangible . . . Rice retains our rapt attention.Los Angeles Times Emotionally engaging and often moving; Ms. Rice succeeds in creating a Jesus who is recognizably human.National Catholic Reporter An inestimably valuable contribution to the discussion of Christian history as well as a tender look at the young Jesus.The Denver Post Previously published as Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt

I really enjoyed the vampire chronicles and decided to give this one a try by Anne Rice. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to take such a liking to the story. The authors note at the end is definitely worthy of respect. It is enlightening to learn of the of the labor and research that goes into the forming of a historical work of fiction.

Like her Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice creates another well researched, historical novel that weaves together the early years of Christ.
