Search - Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt

A great read. This book covers a fictional account, but historically accurate, of what a year in the life of Jesus, as a child, may have been like. This covers thethe exit of Jesus and his family from Egypt and their entire journey back to Nazareth and then some. Jerusalem is in turmoil, King Herod is dead and there is distrust and disdainin the air for the heir to the throne. Jesus is but a child of seven who has exhibited some extroidinary abilities but doesn't know who he truly is. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

Written from the first-person perspective of Jesus, this is a decent effort to retell the Messiah's childhood from a little different way of thinking. As long as you remember it is a work of fiction, you should enjoy it.

I you like religious fiction and Anne Rice, then this the book for you. It tells the story of 7-year old Jesus in a fantastic tale. I truly enjoyed this book. It is only the second Anne Rice book that I have read (the first being "Interview" 12-years ago.

I definitely recommend this book!!!

I was pleasantly surprised. Didn't really know what to expect, but I had always been curious. Captures your attention right from the start. Very imaginative look at what Jesus' early life may have been like. It is told from his perspective, so it also made me think in ways I never had before.

I re book years ago. I got this copy as a gift for my sister, who called me yesterday to tell me she had finished reading it, had enjoyed it tremendously and would soon be returning it to me so that I could repost it.

The afterward is the interesting part of this book. The novel itself is good, but not great.
