About this listen
Girzone seeks to personify Christ in the minds of readers by asking some simple questions: "What did people see in Jesus as He walked down the street? How did He approach others and what would these people take away from meeting Him? What do His actions tell us about how we can live our lives today?" Girzone's empowering and loving understanding of the heart of Christianity will make this another groundbreaking classic in the tradition of his Joshua and Never Alone.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 88
Nearly two decades earlier, the tiny town of Auburn was transformed by the presence of a quiet, humble carpenter named Joshua. With gentle actions of love and words of peace, this mysterious man had a profound influence upon everyone he met. Since then, however, many of Joshua's friends have passed away, and a generation has grown up not knowing him. And as the new millennium approaches, some have begun to get anxious, even panicked, about what God intends for them.

A review of Jesus life
The reader had a pleasant and calm voice. Jesus’ life events were described and the author brought out the fact that Jesus had a sense of humor.

Poor narration
The book itself is great, but the volume increase and decrease of the narration made it a struggle to get through. Several times I thought to just turn it off and forget about. I'll avoid this narrator in the future.
