Excellent Story and Thought Provoking Journey

Revisado: 12-25-23

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this book. I generally enjoy fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, a book with a story line. The Nature of Relationships by Dan Bryant was highly recommended but I was a little hesitant because it didn't sound like my genre. But I love a good book and I'll always, at the very least, start a book someone tells me to read. And WOW, I'm glad I opened this one, what an experience. This book IS a great story.

It tells the adventure of a family, starting when the woman was pregnant with her first child and she and her husband had to travel across the country. It tells of the child's life and eventual death. The story showed Jesus as a real person. A person who knew he was the son of God but also a human who had to make human choices. The story made Jesus into an interesting, fun, caring, curious person you would want to be friends with. And while the book didn't convert me to Christianity or any other organized religion, and I do not believe that was the intent, it did show Jesus to me in a way I hadn’t seen before, nor expected. It was a spiritual encounter that led me to deeper reflection and aroused my curiosity.

As a side note, I also loved the layout of the story. There were 111 short “episodes”. I could pick up the book for 10 minutes and read through one episode. Although, admittedly, it was rare that I just read one in a sitting.

Great book. Looking forward to reading more by this author.
