The character and progression of her writing was great. She finished her thoughts and sections she is writing. However as a Christin I did had come doctrinal and theological issues but I bought it right....will share with a friend and then put it in the church library.....Mommers

Endless Inspiration.
I've read Christ The Lord--Out of Egypt nine (9) times, and it never fails to inspire and uplift the spirit. In this time of our lives, even more, the world needs to know that Christ the Lord was once a Child of Earthen Parents--Mary and Joseph--and proceeded to grow into a man for all seasons, to lead this world out of bondage and into God's Light. Time and time again I am drawn to this Divine Reminder that We are Not Alone, that God has not forsaken us, and that there is hope for a better world. From a poetic point of view, the words Anne Rice has chosen, are alive with meaning. From a practical standpoint, this book pays for itself many, many times, and is certainly worthy (along with sister publication, Christ the Lord--Road To Cana) of reading, sharing with your friends, and passing along to your children and your children's children. Anne Rice has crafted a wonderful dedication to Our Lord.

Paints a Fasinating Picture of Christ
I've read and studied the Gospels many times and found Anne's portrait of Christ to bring a fresh and beautiful perspective to how it might have happened. It is both enjoyable and fasinating. You don't have to agree with everything to apprecite how she weaves her knowledge of history, theology and story telling ability to present an irenic, pure, and devine portrait of Jesus.

I thought this book was very interesting, no doubt about it, but I thought it be about all of His childhood. It did give me insight why we don't know more than we do about Jesus's childhood. Joseph and Mary had a great deal on their hands to keep this very special child alive. The book is well written. It covers information that was very interesting. I wasn't ready for the story to end, but I guess it ended the only way it could - I just expected more childhood.

Great Read!! No other like it!!!
This is a best seller for sure!!!! I have always loved her books but this is totally new for her and a great book. I think that everyone should read this. This also describes the changes that Anne Rice goes through while she is dealing with the death of her husband Stan Rice. This really puts you there while Christ is growing up and realizing what he truly is. Most people know the story of Christ but have you ever though of how he grew up? How did he come to be the man that he was? If you have ever wondered these questions then I would buy this book!
