Product description

Review

"The Sermon on the Mount happens to be the passage in the Authorised King James Version of the Bible that i seek out most often in my wordly, atheistic way. I would not want to upset anyone, but Wangerin's account is better" --Financial Times

"Powers along with great stamina for hundreds of pages" --Time Out

"Immensely readable." -- Belfast Telegraph
"Exhilarating." -- Christianity Today
"Imaginative, stimulating and fresh... Above all, the work of a craftsman" --Glasgow Herald

5.0 out of 5 stars The Book of God
By Gazza on 10 February 2019
Many years ago I read the Bible retellings of David Kossoff and loved them. Wangerin here retells the stories in his very own, unique way and I must admit he had my total attention throughout. I simply thought these were very well done; better, in fact, than the laborious read of the original text.

Top marks to Wangerin for this. Absolutely loved it and no doubt will be reading it for a second time very soon. Five stars easily.

I hope you find my review helpful
