The listing, Christ the Lord Series by Anne Rice. has ended.
This two book hardcover series deals with the life of Jesus Christ.
The first book is a riveting, reverent imagining of the hidden years of the child Jesus.
Essentially it's a mystery story, of the child grappling to understand his miraculous gifts and numinous birth.. As he ponders his staggering responsibility, the boy is fully believable -- and yet there's something in his supernatural empathy and blazing intelligence that conveys the wondrousness of a boy like no other.
The second book begins during his last winter before his baptism in the Jordan and concludes with the miracle at Cana.
Legends of a Virgin birth have long surrounded Yeshua bar Joseph, yet for decades he has lived as one among many who come tot he synagogue on the Sabbath. All who know and love him find themselves waiting for some sign of the path he will eventually take.
And at last we see him emerge from his baptism to confront his destiny--and the Devil. We see what happens when he takes the water of six great limestone jars, transforms it into cool red wine, is recognized as the anointed one, and urged to call all Israel to take up arms against Rome and follow him as the prophets have foretold.
