Charming, though casually written and unedited, so there are typographical errors in it. However, it is also littered with inaccuracies and whitewashed depictions of Jewish history. Additionally, it depicts a works-based means of salvation (the ???do good and be good and you can thereby gain entrance into heaven??? idea) rather than what Jesus taught. It reads like a watered down retelling of the four gospels but with key details eliminated or rewritten to suit the author???s / period???s / locale???s narrative.
