 "An ambitious and intriguing undertaking." - Society for Values in Higher Education 
 "Readers will immediately be impressed with Lanzara's flowing style, his clarity of language, and his simplicity in expression." - Dr. Richard L. Summer, Cedarville College 
 "Lanzara has smoothed the convoluted epic lines into twentieth century prose....Despite the new genre, Lanzara's book is anything but vanilla narrative. His writing has an invisible poetic quality, an elevation of language that honors the original." - Inklings

THE STORY OF JESUS, by Joseph Lanzara, comes directly from the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The variations, duplications, and discrepancies found in the four versions are edited and blended to form one continuous story of the life of Jesus Christ, from conception to resurrection. The language is that of the King James Version of the Bible. The eloquence and majesty of this literary masterpiece now form a simple chronological narrative, more powerful in its simplicity.
