Book Reviews of Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana (Christ the Lord)
Book Review: 2 in a row for Rice
Summary: 5 Stars
She did it again. Amazing portraial of the historical facts. A 2000 year old story with a fresh look at life during the time of Christ. Book Review: Meditation on Christ
Summary: 5 Stars
The figure of Christ is persistently interesting, and Anne Rice has given us a yet another fascinating take. Christ was God, before He was born, during His life, and after His Resurrection. Yet He was also a man. If He had not been a true man, His willing sacrifice on the cross wouldn't have counted to redeem mankind from its debt of sin. If He had not been true God, likewise. And yet there is the tension between the two conditions that might be captured in the soldier's half-sincere taunt to Christ on the cross: If you be God, come down from the cross and save yourself! So the rather forensic question of 'what did the suspect know, and when did he know it' takes on compelling drama when the suspect is Christ, and Anne Rice has given us a portrait of a complex individual with flashes of insight and an enduring charity for neighbor, with a 'weakness' for the good and beautiful in humanity that leads Him to the road of His Father. We see Him in the day-to-day slugfest of life, disliked by some, respected by all, frustrating to those with a linear and unshakable plan. Rice has applied her always-formidable skills in characterization to a mysterious and fascinating Man God, and the result is even more satisfying than her earlier work.Book Review: Captivating
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for my 5 hour commute twice a week. Absolutely enthralling. I love this as much as I loved the first one! Anne Rice is an unbelievable talented story-teller! I am so glad she devoted her live to Christ! Book Review: very good and helpful interpretation of the life of christ
Summary: 4 Stars
THIS IS AN VERY GOOD INTERPRETATION OF THE LIFE OF CHRIST AS A YOUNG MAN. EVEN THOUGH IT IS WRITTEN AS FICTION, I FOUND IT VERY USEFUL FOR MY SPIRITUAL WALK WITH CHRIST. IT ALLOWS ME A CLOSER IDENTIFICATION WITH THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST. IT WAS AN EASY BUT ENTHRALLING READ. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT AND EAGERLY LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT BOOKBook Review: Challenges you to think
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, the reader in this audio book is excellent. Secondly, Anne Rice has provided a lot of information to ponder. It certainly puts Christ's life in a more secular perspective. We often forget he had to experience the trials and tribulations of a mortal man. It made me appreciate and understand his sacrifices and pain and suffering even more. I realize Rice has written fiction, but she certainly has given me "food for thought."
