Thanks for the comment. I believe so too, but I cut the book some slack since it is historical fiction.kandscreeley wrote: ↑14 Apr 2018, 17:56 I don't think this is one I would enjoy. I believe that Jesus is exactly according to the Bible. I'm glad that you were able to enjoy it, though!

His siblings are mentioned in the Bible. He had 3-4 brothers and some sisters too.Sahani Nimandra wrote: ↑14 Apr 2018, 21:41 Hm! I did not know Jesus had siblings I though he was the only child. I am not sure how to look at this book. It good that they have related and filled missing places to our imagination but not in the expense of damaging the real characters. Thank you for your review but I will pass this book!

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you liked the review. I previously had a reservation against a reimagination of Biblical accounts; however, I appreciate the value of the book based on it's historical fiction genre. Might I add, it is an enjoyable read.Sahani Nimandra wrote: ↑14 Apr 2018, 21:41 Hm! I did not know Jesus had siblings I though he was the only child. I am not sure how to look at this book.

Thanks. The reader tries to avoid making a mockery of Christianity or Judaism while weaving together a good narrative.Minimoyz81 wrote: ↑14 Apr 2018, 22:14 I think this book is like other books in which they base their characters from myth, folklore, etc. And they make something like a twist for instance in which forcing the reader to be enthused to it. But be sure not to make a mockery of someone's beliefs.
