"The author, minister of Buccleuch and Greyfriars Free Church in Edinburgh and a former Editor of the Free Church Monthly Record, has skilfully brought together a collection of first-person narratives written through the eyes of those who knew Jesus. Using biblical references and other background resources, MacDonald offers responses to the question: 'do you know Jesus' through the eyes of those who knew him, from his mother Mary, to Simon Peter, the Apostle John and Zacchaeus, the tax collector. Written in a lively and original style, each chapter can be enjoyed individually or as part of a wider study of the lives of those who knew Jesus.

master, because imagination has to be used as a tool
to convey truth and make the reader want to grasp it,but must never take over itself. Alex MacDonald has
managed here to present us with a series of stories that
superbly manage to retell well known historical facts
in a way that magically take us to the lands and times
in which they actually happened. A book for young
and old, for seasoned preachers and truth-seekers,
and ultimately for anyone who simply likes stories well
told."Manuel ReaƱo, Principal, Bible Seminary of Columbia Medellin-Columbia, South America.
