Reviews

[Ian Minielly · Rating 5 out of 5]

I admit my bias of liking William Barclay after reading many of his commentaries. This book is an excellent rendition of the life and mission of Jesus. Barclay takes some liberties with the order of events, but he is fair and honest to the story and mission. This would be a great book for people to read and appreciate the greatness of Jesus and the Mission of God he fulfilled as Lord and Savior.

[Elaine LaFollette · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is based on the movie aired on NBC in the 70's. The photographs in this book are from the movie. The movie everyone should watch....the best narration of Christ's life I have ever seen on film.
