Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Having completed the two cycles of legend to which she has devoted her career so far, Anne Rice gives us now her most ambitious and courageous book, a novel about the early years of CHRIST THE LORD, based on the Gospels and on the most respected New Testament scholarship.
The book’s power derives from the passion its author brings to the writing and the way in which she summons up the voice, the presence, the words of Jesus who tells the story.
From the Hardcover edition.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Starts really well but a little slow towards the middle/end
This book started out really well, but halfway through, I found it lacking in excitement and story line...Although the research involved in this book appears to be extensive, it looses a little bit of the story line, focusing too much on Jesus thoughts...Not a bad read, just a little slow..
Rating:  - Boring sweet fantasy
I have read the vast majority of Anne Rice's other books( liked them) and really liked Memnock the Devil. It was obvious in that book that Anne had a grasp on Christian theology so I was very interested to read Christ the Lord. What a disappointment. Boring and writen for kids. Poorly fleshed out characters and one part when Jesus ( this is minor)stops the rain on a walk home...yea sure I grew up in a desert and you are thankful for every single drop of rain you get. ( that is how to tell the locals ... Read More
Rating:  - It Speaks To The Heart.
This is a picture of Jesus - as a young boy - that fits comfortably into the character of Christ as found in the Gospels... and yet the creative detail imagined to fully render that character brings a fresh light and joy to the subject.The heart of this book testifies to its author's spirit of humility and grace.
Those who know the Lord will love this story.For those unfamiliar with Christ, what an introduction to the possibilities of his undocumented early years!

Rating: - A Great Read: If You Happen to be Pope.
I realise that authors go through many stages of their careers, exploring different facets of their personality, trying different roles.
I am a great fan of Anne's work. I have attended dozens of her events in New Orleans, and own numerous signed copies and first editions. I love (with the exception of Queen of the Damned) the Vampire Chronicles, I enjoyed The Witching Hour, I owned the Beauty Triology when you still had to ask for it quietly in kink shops on the lower East side. I had read ... Read More
Rating: - A UNIQUE LOOK AT THE LIFE OF OUR SAVIOR AS A CHILD.
Anne Rice, famous for books such as "Interview with the Vampire" an "Queen of the Damned," brings her skills to tackle her most challenging work to date: a look at the childhood of our Lord and Savior. "Christ The Lord: Out of Egypt," the first of a planned trilogy, takes a look at Jesus during His seventh and eighth years on this earth, struggling to come to terms with His identity, as well as pondering the special powers He seems to possess, while returning to the family home of Nazareth during a tumultuous ...
