\n\t\tLike being in Israel with Jesus, September 19, 2008
\n\t\tBy Anja,

\n\t\tAlthough fictional, the book lets you learn more about the actual events in the Gospels. It adds insight into Judaean customs as well as specific religious rituals. You feel as though you were there with Jesus, observing, taking it all in. It portrays events from the Gospels through the eyes of them that were there, not through ours, who have all the answers 2000 years later. The books are well written and easy to read. They are also impossible to forget. You get to know and love your Savior more by reading them.\n\t\t

\n\t\tLoved it!, February 02, 2011
\n\t\tBy charleen, MT

\n\t\tAlthough this is a fictional work, I learned a great deal and was introduced to many events in the scriptures that I had overlooked as I had read them in the past. The scriptures and their meaning came alive for me and caused me to think and read with much more attention to detail and thoughtfulness concerning gospel teachings. Chapter notes help explain customs of the day and add historical reference. At the beginning of each chapter is a time line. For a fictional series, I thought it gave numerous insights that helped me want to read my scriptures more thoroughly and motivated me to search for that historical knowledge as well as understand the spiritual experiences of the day, which really are no differant than what many of us may experience today...providing we are "in tune". I also thought that, although the characters are fictional, they were realistic for the day. It was a great read that I keep as a staple for my library of inspirational readings.\n\t\t

\n\t\tAmazing!, February 22, 2011
\n\t\tBy Jennifer, TN

\n\t\tI absolutely LOVED this series! I learned so much about the New Testament with all of the historical research that Lund provides, especially at the end of each chapter. Thank you, Gerald Lund! I have recommended this series to many family members and friends, including friends of other faiths. Anyone I know who has read them completely agree that these are well written and worth your time!\n\t\t

\n\t\tVery educational , October 06, 2008
\n\t\tBy Bonnie, CA

\n\t\tI really enjoyed this series. Though the characters are fictional the backdrop and religious fervor is not. I found it very educational as to the customs, tensions, traditions, and symbolisms of the time. I feel I grew in my understanding of the New Testament, specifically the four gospels, immensely. Side note, if you enjoyed this series you will also like The Fire and Covenant by Gerald Lund.\n\t\t

\n\t\tBy Erika, UT

\n\t\tI thoroughly enjoyed these books and know that they also brought me closer to knowing more and feeling more of what it would have been like at this time. I highly recommend them.\n\t\t
