The Book of God: The Bible as a Novel Review
I love how this is written. The beginning is so real. The story just opened my eyes to Saul then Paul, and told of his devotion and love for God. What a great book, as with all of Wagerin's books. What a gift to readers. I just finished the Book of God, and now I'm about to get "Reliving the Passion" and "Preparing for Jesus". I have read "Jesus", I did back in 2007 when I was on my way to Kuwait, and I loved it. The "Book of God" brought me to tears many times. I truly love how he told the story of Jesus' crucifiction. Wow, is all I can say. One of my favorite parts is where he told of the gratitude Jesus showed to Longinus, and how it changed his live to care for Barrabus' neice. My other favorite part, no matter how many times I read it, is the story of the other two who were crucified with Christ. Marvelous reading! I look forward to reading more. I have added Wagerin to my favorite authors like Orson Scott Card and Marek Halter. If you are like me and you love to read biblical fiction, but you want it true to the bible, read these authors. I want to add that the end of "The Book of God" has a great reference and study guide. I will use it after I also get it in Hard Back. My paper back has been just tortured because I travel so much. Thank you Mr. Wagerin.
