review 1: I always like the Thoene's books, but this one was not one of my favorite ones. They brought out many great things concerning Jesus, the Messiah and the events happening at that time. I don't mind the adding of fictional characters or dialogues that could have possibly taken place. I do have problems with things that distract from the story like the White Hart that tend to make people that don't believe the Word of God already more suspect of those of us who have trusted in Christ. I'm thankful in the end that the White Hart took a back seat to the purpose of Christ's mission and the Scripture references foretelling of it.
review 2: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.The way the authors write is incredible. This is the first time... more I've come across any of their books, and I am highly impressed with them. It's not surprising they are some of the widest-read authors in religious fiction. I have also noticed that most, if not all, of the books that Zondervan publishes that I have read have really been great books.The storyline itself is wonderful, enough tension to the story that it made me want to keep reading. Not to mention that I wanted very badly to see how Jesus the person was portrayed. I have seen reviews dismissing the fact that the main character is making a thousand mile long trek basically by himself (with caravans and such) without parental guidance or supervision. I completely agree with this sentiment. I look at my own eight year old and know there is no way on earth she would come close to walking ten miles, much less 100, or God forbid, a thousand. Nehi is such a young boy to have such an adult point of view and voice in the story that it does feel like I'm reading about a 12 or 13 year old. I believe if the authors would have made him a few years older it would have been a much more believable book. less
