Rate this book
Celebrated communicator and revered teacher Truman G. Madsen shares his insights on the life and ministry of the Savior, available for the first time on CD. The same stimulating scholar and speaker who gave us the popular Joseph Smith the Prophet series, Brother Madsen draws on his experience as a former director of the BYU Jerusalem Center and leader of countless tours to the Holy Land to bring new illumination to many aspects of Christ’s unique mission. Topics include Jesus as the Shepherd and the Lamb, His baptism and temptation, and the Sermon on the Mount. The last four addresses deal with the Savior’s final week of mortality. These engrossing talks are sure to bring hours of fascinating listening to all students of the gospel and deepen testimonies of the Lord Jesus Christ.

So many insights into the teachings of Jesus Christ! One of my favorites relates to the idea of Faith as the mustard seed. It's not a dormant thing because you plant the seed. The faith is as the mustard seed in growth because as we act on his word, our faith grows even as a seed grows

I've enjoyed hearing Truman Madsen's insights on the life of the Savior as our family has been studying the New Testament in the Come Follow Me lessons this year.

This was a pretty good talk series by Truman G. Madsen on the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the audio quality was sketchy at some points with Madsen giving the talks on location in the holy land. Very insightful and I learned a lot of new things about the savior, being able to see him not only as divine

I listened to the audiobook that he recorded on scene in Jerusalem. It was insightful into the various Jewish traditions of the Savior's time.

Great to read/hear about the savior's life and perhaps some feelings he went through during his life on earth.

It was amazing how Truman Madsen could speak so easily and in depth about detailed scriptural passages. The audio was a little muffled in places. Next time, I'll try the DVD series.

I learned so much about shepherding in the Middle East and saw so many insights into my Savior's atonement. This is a beautiful and inspiring book.

Content and insights were grate. The disjointed and stitched together nature of these lectures made it a bit harder to follow along.
