"No matter how many times it is told or how familiar it may be to the reader, almost everything about the story of Jesus is surprising. It is this astonishing freshness that best-selling author Mary Batchelor has captured so successfully inThe Jesus Story. It is as if you were with the disciples, hearing Jesus' words, watching him in action, feeling the tension as his enemies plot his downfall.Retold from the four Gospels, this book offers a readable and comprehensive life of Jesus, together with useful background information about everyday life at that time.A classic retelling to treasure and enjoy.".
