I just saw this inside the bookstore, and I'm sure it's gonna be a good read! You know why? It's because this is the second off a new series by the legendary Anne Rice! I've read the first book, which is entitled Christ The Lord: Out of Egypt. And it rocked!
Anne Rice is known for The Vampire Chronicles, starting off with the infamous Interview with the Vampire. Being a known atheist, she reconverted back to Christianity by 1998. Since then, she was planning to write about the early days of Jesus. And with the release of the new series last 2005, she has won raves and praises all around the world!
Why?
In the book, she portrayed Jesus as a human, with no knowledge of his divinity. Suddenly he accidentally kills a child of his same age, eight years young. Suddenly everyone is afraid of him. What is he? He asks himself. And things will never be the same.
The first book was absolutely stunning. The Damn read this himself! I bet the second's a killer!
Hot book! Hot book!
