"Growing up in a Southern Baptist home, I was hesitant to read a fictional account of Jesus’ adult life, his own family relations, and the introduction of a romantic relationship. I know the ending to this story, so what could I possibly learn? However, my curiosity got the best of me, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved how the author humanized Jesus in a way I hadn’t seen him described before. I knew about his adoration for his mother, his intense sense of responsibility and his steadfast purpose, but I had never considered the down to earth humanity within those qualities: the love of laughter, warm interpersonal connections with siblings, and day-to-day decision-making. The other fascinating character was, of course, his love interest Ana. You see Jesus through this strong, feisty woman’s eyes and cannot help but weep with her when she loses her greatest love. As this historical moment that I had faithfully studied for all of my life unfolded, I was so involved in the story that I forgot everything aside from the passion, love and sacrifice these two figures shared. Sue Monk Kidd provides the ultimate gift that any writer has to offer their reader: the ability to climb inside the hearts and minds of her characters, feel their pain and celebrate their love. What an experience."

I really can't write this review the way I'd like to because then it would contain spoilers that would ruin it for anyone who hasn't read it. I love this series and I'm crushing big time on America!

The plot continues to keep me captivated and total immersed in the intrigue. It's truly a story line to get lost in!

This book is a great quick for when you have a spare five minutes lying around. Although the characters seems to be a little underdeveloped for my taste, I still love the story line. This is probably because I enjoyed the film so much and could easily imagine the characters and their mannerisms.
