It almost makes me feel like a bad Christian to give a book about Jesus two stars? XP I will say that while the plot line was okay, the writing was very subpar. The narrative jumped around in a confusing way, and the characters were kinda flat and lifeless.
There were two major plot twists, but one of them was so obvious that I'm not even sure if it was supposed to be a plot twist. XD Another thing I disliked is that the book had large segments I'm thinking like maybe half the book that are taken directly from the Bible, in objective third person narrative with none of the fictional characters from the story present.
It wasn't necessarily bad, it was just strange and it threw me off. It almost felt like So for example at one point Titus is thrown into prison. Then, directly following this, there's like 50 pages about Jesus getting arrested and tried and beaten. We don't find out what's going to happen to Titus for a looong portion of time, and by the time I got back to him, I had sort of forgotten and didn't care all that much anymore.
So this one's going to get two stars mostly because the narrative was very choppy, sporadic, and confusing. The characterization is super good and the plot flows a lot more smoothly. I'd definitely recommend it! View all 5 comments. Apr 17, Abigail Larsen rated it it was amazing.

It was a few places difficult to follow with the language of the book, a little slow feeling in a couple times, but on the whole an endearing tale and a beautiful portrayal of Christ's life and ministry. I found the story to be so intriguing as the plot unfolded and how the fiction was so beautifully intertwined with the truth Christ's life and crucifixion.
The end was special and was such a brilliant piece of writing but I can't give the ending away so you'll just have to read it yourself! I'm sure all would enjoy and be inspired by this tale of the cross. Now I hunt for books about the Lord Jesus Christ If a book is written non-fiction or fiction, I know certain licence is taken on some made up, or little mentioned Scriptural characters. Or on the different Mary's See, in Christian Biblical Fiction, that doesn't matter I've read great books where Scriptural Mary's have been mixed up and critics really put down the whole book because of it We should not be like the world.
Do what is good, and worthy of good fruit.. Give it 5 stars. We're not of this world so we don't have to judge according to the world's judgement Now about this book I'm going to buy the next in the series Please, brothers and sisters, remember Jul 29, Hannah rated it it was amazing Shelves: This is the most tragically, joyfully beautiful book I have ever read. After my third read of Titus I could not withhold tears each time I thought of it for a week. The portrayal of Christ's transforming power in love and forgiveness has filled me with awe and kept with me in the years since I've read it.

Tuesday 18 December Titus is a young boy, born to a down on his luck fisherman who has turned towards violent crime and a downtrodden mother. His main companion, his brother Stephen is crippled as a result of being beaten by their cruel father, however he remains kind and sweet.
He warns Stephen off his hopes of healing and he is hostile and wary of the people of Jerusalem and fears that they would not benefit from the new preacher in the area. He even looks forward to fighting the Jews although he does not approve of the theft his father is involved in.

This book is suitable for all ages and particularly suitable for devotional reading with children. Nay, my husband, do not despair, spoke the soft voice of Anna. There is yet hope; he hath only been gone since yester-eve. Yet as she spoke, the vision of her three-year old darling rose before her, and she fancied him wailing for his mother; perhaps sick and lonely in some dark den of the city; perhaps dead.
