NCLA Review - This book is comprised mostly of two-page vignettes on the life, teaching, and friends of Jesus of Nazareth while he walked the earth. The first section is about discovering Jesus in the pages of the Bible before his birth and the last section is about how Jesus changed the world. The format is consistent throughout. Gansky ties each article to a Bible verse and ends with a feature called “Check Your Understanding.” Other devices the author uses are: Final Thought, Take It to Heart, Myth Buster, Something to Remember, Digging Deeper, and Points to Ponder. The book is illustrated and attractive. The Table of Contents is well done, but there is no index. It would be more user-friendly if the book were spiral bound as it is somewhat difficult to handle. Everything here can be found in the Bible, but a family could use this book as a devotional guide and everyone would benefit. Rating: 3 —AMB ( )
