Read by Aelred Rosser

From Joseph F. Girzone, the best-selling author of Joshua and Joey, comes a warm, folksy look at the life and times of Jesus. Drawing from the synoptic gospels, he portrays Jesus as the man His contemporaries would have known. Combining the Gospels of Luke and Mark, Girzone weaves together a continuous narrative of Jesus' life. Intermingled with His life are historical details on what life was like for the average person at the time. But A Portrait of Jesus is more than a biography. Emphasizing the message that Jesus taught through sermons and parables, Girzone shows the listener how to have a more personal relationship with Jesus. With His priorities being on forgiveness, tolerance and love, it is a message just as strong and necessary today as it was when first brought to the world. This simply told, but powerful depiction of Jesus brings Him to life in a way that transcends differences in denomination and religion. aelred Rosser's empathetic narration will leave listeners with the sense that they have had a long chat with a compassionate friend
