Publisher's Summary:
"Angels in legions sang when you were born, my beautiful Yeshi! At midnight they poured down from the heavens, every one a whirling star, ten thousand voices in a sky-borne choir. 'Glory,' they sang, and I felt the bedrock tremble. You popped your eyes open. You peered around, seeking the source of the music and waving your hands as if to catch the stars in them!"
Here is a magnum opus of image and emotion: Jesus bringing his father the sacrificial lamb in Jerusalem's temple, Mary desperately searching for her son in the wind-lashed rain, the cry of gratitude from a leper's lips, the loving intimacy of Jesus in prayer, the fury of religious leaders, the agony of an iron crucifixion spike piercing human sinew, Loving son, intimate friend, and brilliant teacher, tender in heart, fierce in anger, wholehearted in joy and in grief, deeply human yet unmistakably divine, this is the Jesus who lives and breathes in this audio.
Members Reviews:
The VIVID narration matches the MASTERFUL text
The author's reading is appropriately, and powerfully merged with his well-crafted, emotionally-gripping writing. I am moved by the light that is inherent in the source (the Bible) of Wangerin's tale. But his storytelling unveils even further light.
I have been moved to tears, often, in listening to his, "The Book of God." And now "Jesus" is revealing to me Jesus in ways that I will be eternally grateful for (literally)! :-)
Thank you, God, for Your gifts through this author (and actor/narrator)!
...eager to experience all of the author's books...
Great listen
Would you listen to Jesus again? Why?
I've read the print version a couple years back and decided to listen to it this time and really enjoyed it more because you really get the author's meaning when he's reading it to you.
Beautiful
Walter Wangerin Jr brings the life and times of Jesus alive with vivid detail. Amazing!
Good Jesus Novel
While it is half truth and half fiction, it does help to visualize Jesus life.
Meet the God-Man Messiah.
My second time through this audiobook, I am treasuring it just as much as I did at the first.
Walter Wangerin Jr. Is my favorite author and my favorite Narrator. The inflections and shades of meaning he had in mind me as he wrote, are flawlessly executed in ways that no narrator could have guessed with any amount of study. The Book of God was the single greatest listening experience of my whole life. And this comes in right behind that one as its natural sequel. Only scoring below it, because of it's length and there not being as much of it. Still, this is not a small book.
If the Bible seems hard to relate to, you might want to pick up this audiobook and see if you might be drawn to the Jesus and His friends in a new way.
I cherished the Bible before I began this series and fell more in love with it as a result of spending time with the Master and His disciples.
If you aren't familiar with the Bible, you should wonder why it is the all-time best selling book in world. You cannot be well read or culturally literate if you ignore the Bible, and here is a gorgeous resource to introduce you to its unfathomable beauty.
Save up two credits for this book and "The Book of God" you shouldn't regret it.
