Reviews

[Neil Crowle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quite thought-provoking book. I enjoyed reading it, even if I can't always agree with some of the points made. This book focused a lot on Jesus as shown in the Gospels of Mark and John.

A great book, that does not require you to have a Masters or higher in Theology to understand!O'Collins presents the information for faith in good simple terms that are easily understood.
