HOLDING HEAVEN

In this one-hour narration of his own novella, Jerry Jenkins portrays the life of Jesus as told by his father, Joseph. Jenkins narrates with such intensity that it's easy to feel the excitement of the story as it progresses. One can also sense the incredible love between father and son. Beginning with Jesus's birth, through His childhood, manhood, and approaching crucifixion, Jesus and Joseph have many father-son conversations. This imaginative story relates these discussions, beginning with Joseph talking to the infant Jesus and ending with Jesus talking to Joseph when His father is on his deathbed. This remarkable perspective of a familiar story is well done and worth the hour of listening. N.L. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 06]
