STARRED Review

Jesus Christ, His Life and Mine is “. . . highly readable guide to Jesus’s life and teachings.” “Bohlen is a gifted writer, earnest in his approach, with a fine ability to tell a story in a simple and memorable way. His arguments are methodical yet disarming, and his conclusions are theologically sound and succinct. Moreover, the book is nicely produced, with charts, color images, and a vibrant map of the Holy Land.” (Full review available here.)
