 RefreshingMar 28, 2007
By Suzanne Van Hecke
I see lots of children's stories from our church library, Sunday school, from the Christian bookstores etc. I found this book of all places at the public library. I find it refreshing because its artwork is not the typical cartoony style I usually see. The crucifixion is a serious subject and the artwork reflects that. My 6-yr-old son is a visual learner, and he's attracted to comic books, the art you see in Yu-gi-OH cards, Avitar etc so he's bored with alot of the mild-looking cartoony material he sees in Sunday school, etc. This was different.
Contrary to a prior review, the "off-camera" resurrection was quite effective with my son. I read it to him, and we imagined what Jesus looked like. We added sound effects. In fact, it struck up a 30 minute conversation on Jesus, heaven, the angels, the resurrection etc. I'm buying a copy and adding it to our library!

Beautiful, Positive and RareMay 02, 2006
By capriolus
A wonderful, accessible retelling of the story of Holy Week for elementary-aged children. It is especially rare and special in that it is not based on the doctrine of substitutionary atonement ("Jesus died for our sins"), which is not synonymous with Christianity. It doesn't explicitly deny that belief, but places its emphasis on Jesus's charge to his followers to find redemption through love and forgiveness, no matter how difficult that may be.
For those who want their children to have an understanding of the Crucifixion in the context of Jesus's life and teaching, and who want the lesson that they take away from the story to be positive and constructive, this is a great find.

 Not the story of the MessiahMar 26, 2008
By Leanne D. Rickard
"Leanne"
This is a book that tells the story of Jesus as though he were just a very good man. While inspiring and feel good human stories are valuble in their own right, I think it is misleading to to advertise this as a retelling of the story of Jesus. The core of Jesus' teaching is that He was the Son of God, and any story that does not acknowlege this is not an accurate retelling of the message. I think that my biggest complaint is that this book is advertised as a "retelling drawn from the Gospels" and therefore raises the expectation that it will be faithfull to the Messianic message. However, it's downplaying of Christ's divinity becomes obvious only as you read it, and frankly, I was offended by the dishonesty.
Whether or not it was intended as such, this book is a subtle attack on the fundamental teachings of Christianity. While there was obviously a sincere effort to focus on what Jesus taught about love, the ommissions rendered the story incomplete and the message about love distorted. An example is at the passover supper where, in the Gospels, Jesus prophesies Judas' betrayal. In this story, Jesus says "For soon, I fear, one of you will betray me," and no mention is made of Jesus' statements directly to Judas. The effect is to suggest that Jesus just made a very good guess, not to mention the implicit contradiction with His teaching that we are to fear nothing but God.
I am sorry to be so critical, but this book has very subtle theological distortions and should not be read to Christian children.

 I wanted to like it.Jan 09, 2007
By D. Price
First, the good: the artwork is excellent, and the comparison to Van Gogh is apt (though my wife thinks it more like Cezanne, FWIW). Very affecting and effective.
The text also has strong points, with its focus on Jesus' message of love and forgiveness. Which leads me to the negative, alas--the focus is exclusive.
Specifically, this exclusive focus effectively makes the narrative incomprehensible--in light of the text, why did Jesus have to die? The text explicitly downplays any messianic aspects of Jesus (he does not ride into Jerusalem, nor does he make any statements about his person). This has the unintentional effect of making the temple leadership unspeakably vile, motivated solely by a grasping jealousy and hatred.
The Resurrection is also downplayed, with the risen Jesus never depicted (a shining, "off-camera" aura appears to the disciples instead). And while the text says "yet he still lived," it also says on the last page "In his love, Jesus lived on." The combined effect of the text and the art is that the Resurrection was a spiritual apparation of Jesus, not a physical reality.
If nothing else, the book is an instructive example of the impossibility of creating a convincing, stripped-down Jesus palatable to a hyper-sensitive secular worldview. A noble effort, but one inevitably doomed to fail.
