Synopsis

Millions of readers made the Left Behind series bestsellers. Now the third in the authors' bestselling Jesus Chronicles is available in trade paperback.

This biblically inspired novel, third in the bestselling Jesus Chronicles, tells the story of Luke-the Gospel writer whose belief was built on the power of faith alone. Luke, who hadn't met Jesus, is skeptical of His miracles, until events in his own life irreversibly change him.

Pledging himself to Christ, he begins a Gospel based on the conversion stories of believers and interviews with those who knew Him best—the disciples who spent three years with Jesus and, most important, His mother, Mary. The result would be a Scripture rich in the miraculous stories of the Lord's divinity, intended to appeal to women, nonbelievers, and the disenfranchised-and that would speak to the heart of Christians all over the world.

So while this one wasn't a great book, I thought it was fine. The problem comes b/c a few years ago, I read "Dear and Glorious Physician" by Taylor Caldwell, also discussing Luke, and it was so much better. After Caldwell's version, this one kind of felt like the Cliff Notes version for kids. Good,......more

Too much of this novel quotes almost verbatim from Scripture. I highly doubt Paul went around speaking like his letters read. An interesting idea, could have been better written.......more

What fun to imagine what Luke’s life might have been like. I really enjoyed it and reading how the authors thought Luke might have ended up writing Luke and Acts.......more

Goodreads review by Fred on February 19, 2017

Three stars for the first half, one star for the last half. I read this book to try and better understand the incredible success of the Left Behind series without actually have to read it. I found the movie totally laughable and didn't think I could be very objective about the book. I thought the fi......more

Goodreads review by Michelle on March 09, 2009

This was an awesome book for those who believe in the Gospel and desire a deeper understanding of the Bible. I learned a great deal about Luke that I had never learned before. Luke was a slave to Theophilous, that his master paid for him to go to university for medical and history studies. Luke had g......more
