It is written in a chapter/verse style, worthy of comparison to the King James style, and is sure to engross anyone who is interested in learning about the entire span of Jesus' life. Not that this book is truth; who knows? But it is inspiring, to say the least. The movie, though, is another matter. Depends on who makes it, how it's made, and to whom it will be directed. With a $20M, I don't expect much. --
