With the many changes of scenery and the landscape across the modern Holy Land, David Wavre seeks to capture again the land that Jesus knew. With the help of artists down the centuries, as well as the wonders of modern photography, Wavre reminds us of the landscapes, scenery, buildings, inhabitants and customs surrounding the events of the life of Christ.
From Christ's birth to his weeping over Jerusalem, Wavre covers in 20 chapters some of the main events and miracles of Jesus's life. Aimed at the average church reader, the book is easy to read with short chapters. For example, the longest chapters are only about six pages in length and most are filled with paintings and photographs seeking to capture the spirit of the times. It is a pocket-sized cased hardback, making it convenient for carrying and reading on the bus to work.
