Book Review: Anne Rice - Christ The Lord: Out Of Egypt

Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt: A Novel by Anne Rice

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
Out of Egypt is a portrait of Jesus as a young boy, and a wonderful tale Anne Rice weaves.

Many fans are disappointed that she's gone away from Vampires and Mummies to The Holy Ghost, so to speak, but I found the book beautifully written and an enlightening read.

Why?

Because these are the years of Jesus' life that no one really knows about.

Anne doesn't create a superhero or supernatural being here, she creates a boy that's different, a boy that will someday change the world. She makes Jesus a human child and in doing so I came to love him just a little more. What is even more wonderful is how she brings to life Mary and Joseph.

Be you a believer or not, this tale of Jesus' early life is one not to be missed. Its one to be savored and enjoyed and perhaps even read again.
