The Third Day

Imagine yourself being transported back to the Holy Land to bear witness to the last few months of the life of Yeshua ha Notzri (Jesus of Nazareth). In this wonderfully written novel, Mariam Roberts, a woman who has lost her faith, and Thomas Roberts, a devout believer in this man he believes is our Lord and Savior, are transported back in time. I found myself questioning my own faith as I saw a Jesus I had never seen before, wondering if the miracles He preformed could be explained with the knowledge of modern medicine. As the story races along I found myself not only entertained by the writer's words, but also disturbed by my inner feelings, my beliefs being challenged by the actions and dialogue of the characters, past, present and future. By the conclusion of this thought provoking book I was mentally worn out and totally satisfied. It was one of the best books I have ever read.
