Chris Wright
`This is an excellent book which looks at the life of Jesus and his influence today in 29 units - each readable and visually striking. It's honest and informative, as well. The paintings of Christ from around the world make the book worth obtaining for that alone.' Fiona Singleton, Methodist Recorder
`The book is attractive to look at with generous use of colour illustrations and highlighted text.' Penny Thompson, Digest - Association of Christian Teachers
