Synopsis

America’s favorite storyteller reads the world’s greatest story.
Garrison Keillor and Dan Johnson both grew up in the bosom of fundamentalism. Their shared love of the Bible and its stories led to this collaboration, which blends details from all the gospels into a single book-length story. Keillor narrates the biography of this amazing man, Jesus, from the slum of Nazareth in the province of Galilee, who confounded dignitaries, healed the sick, and taught those who would listen. He claimed to be God, and that through his death God would graciously forgive the offenses of all who accept this. His story is the foundation from which Christianity has developed, stumbled, and evolved. Centuries ago, early Christians listened as the Bible was read to them. This new recording continues that tradition with a conversational translation performed by America’s favorite storyteller.

This is an Audiobook, read by one of the authors. It’s actually how you’d wish for the life of Jesus Christ to be presented. If this were the first way that you got to hear the Good News, it would be the best way and would encourage you to read the individual Gospels and then move onto the Acts of t......more

Goodreads review by Kevin

Really enjoyed listening to this on my daily commute. Not surprisingly given its oral background, the Gospels really comes to life in this audio format. Garrison Kealor's famous voice works well also. You get the sense both of the narrative arc and the itinerarnt nature of Jesus' life and message. T......more
