Get to Know: Jesus

Get to Know: Jesus tells the story of Jesus Christ from a Christian perspective. It starts with events before He was born, tells us that archaeologists have dug up items from Jesus’ time that are referred to in the Bible, talks about His birth, His life, His teachings, His miracles, and His death, burial, and resurrection (coming back to life). There are pictures, drawings, and maps, and many difficult words are explained right on the page where they are used. Most of the facts are taken from the eyewitness accounts in the Bible.

I thought that this was a pretty good book. I liked a lot of the facts and the pictures are really good. This would be a good book for people who don’t know very much about Jesus as they can get to know Him from this short summary of His life. Even though I go to church I learned a lot of new facts, too. It’s not too difficult to read. This book would be good for ages 8 to 12. Some of the words might be difficult for 7 year olds.
