Review Summary: Amazing!!

Details: I am not a religious person, but this book transcends religion. The images are heartfelt and moving. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is ..... breathing.
Get the DVD. It increases the visual experience with the insights of the photographer and actors. Mark Mabry's ability to bring this period, 2000 years ago, to life is phenomenal. His passion shows in the incredible video and photographic images.
This book is destined to be a treasured classic in every home.
Review Summary: Beautiful-more inspired by the choie of scenes and text
Date: 2008-11-23
Details: The pictures are cool. Lots of them are very beautiful. Like I mentioned in the title...I'm a bigger fan of the selection of scenes and the text. Great coffee table book.
If I have any issue with it, it's just that the pics are too perfect...I'm not a fan of the computer generated stuff. Especially for this genre.
It was very well done...very artistic, but I'm a bigger fan of less "shine."
Still...very worthwhile. Uplifting. I would not hesitate to give this as a gift. I enjoy my copy.
Review Summary: A Spiritual Journey On Christ's Ministry In Breathtaking Imagry!!!!
Date: 2008-11-09
Details: For the Christmas season, we get this amazing photographic montage of Christ's ministry. The images of Mark's work are breathtaking. In the introduction, Gary tells us how he came to create these miraculous, soul-stirring images and at the back of the book, he describes each photograph and how each came to be and the comments from the individuals he used as to their feelings. Gary has music to go with this book and his exhibit is on display throughout the country. This is a book that would make a great coffee table book.
Review Summary: Touching and evocative representations of the life of Jesus
Date: 2008-10-26
Details: Having seen some of the images from this book on the internet I was delighted to have the book for my home. I bought the book for one picture...the one of Jesus and John the Baptist. I love the utter joy on Christ's face. Joy is what we miss sometimes and joy is what it is all about. This book has already been passed around my family and we love it. I love the photographer's journey as well. Following promptings that took him out of the mainstream into the strait and narrow isn't easy but it sure is worth it. Love the book.
