Customer Reviews

If you liked the time trilogy, you'll like these stories.

With the same sense of wonder and matter-of-fact descriptions of the incredible as "A Wrinkle in Time" and it's sequels, these two stories of what might have happened in the life of Jesus while he lived in Egypt are WONDERFUL. It's a treat to look at Jesus life from a fantasy aspect, and any Madeline L'Engle fan will enjoy these stories immensely. I highly recommend them to all.
