Recounts the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, focusing on his mission to spread the teachings of Christianity to his disciples and how that mission continues today.

Widely proclaimed a classic work of Christian faith, Life of Christ has been hailed as the most eloquent of Fulton J. Sheen's many books. The fruit of many years of reflection, prayer, and research, it is a dramatic and moving recounting of the birth, life, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Christ, and a passionate portrait of the God-Man, the teacher, the healer, and, most of all, the Savior, whose promise has sustained humanity for two millenia. With his customary insight and reverence, Sheen interprets the Scripture and describes Christ not only in historical perspective but also in exciting and contemporary terms -- seeing in Christ's life both modern parallels and timeless lessons. His thoughtful, probing analysis provides new insight into well-known Gospel events. An appealing blend of philosophy, history, and biblical exegesis, from the best-known and most-loved American Catholic leader of the twentieth century, Life of Christ has long been a source of inspiration and guidance. For those seeking to better understand the message of Jesus Christ, this vivid retelling of the greatest story ever lived is a must-read.

By use of a singular and seamless format, and organized into thirteen chapters of pure Scripture, The Reader-Friendly Life of Christ takes the complexity out of a reader's attempt to get a clear, basic, yet thorough overview of Christ's mortal life and teachings. All of Christ's major sermons, miracles, and parables are also identified and placed at a reader's fingertips by use of an accompanying appendix. When you finish reading this story, you may want to keep it close by for ready reference, and to experience again and again the simple, beautiful and powerful story of him who is worshipped by and inspires hundreds of millions. This is a complete, interwoven story not found in either one of Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John's New Testament accounts alone. Though purely Biblical, even a child can understand this book's marvelous message. "I have read (The Reader-Friendly Life of Christ)-A Singular and Interwoven Biblical Account ... which was compiled by Sterling H. Redd. I have found that this compilation of the four gospels ... of the New Testament ... has profoundly clarified and made extremely accessible and readable the mortal ministry of the Savior.... It is in a format that would enable children from about ten years of age and older to read the Scriptures as they are written with increased understanding and appreciation." -Garth G. Myers, MD-pediatric neurologist, retired

"...not much has changed since Jesus gathered dust in the soles of his sandals on Palestinian soil. He is still the buzz at barber shops and corner cafes. He is still talked about and against. He pricks our curiosity, sparks our imagination, and even earns our ire. Who is he, really? You know he's no politician, but he still transforms nations. He's no social activist, but he is the genesis of who knows how many hospitals, orphanages, and innumerable acts of kindness. A psychotherapist? Hardly. But how many of us 'Humpty Dumpties' has he put back together again?! This peasant carpenter has built himself a kingdom immeasurably greater than his earthly enemies could have imagined. What are we to make of him? Please accept my deepest apologies right up front, for this book will not help answer that question. However, it may help answer this one: What is this man to make of me?"
