Luke's Story

by Tim LaHaye & Jerry B. Jenkins
in the Jesus Chronicles series
Dakota County Library, hardcover, 391 pages

A fictionalized account of Luke (Loukon) as he grows from a slave boy to the doctor known in Scripture. Interesting, but not gripping. If I had realized that the entire gospel of Luke and the book of Acts was in the book, I wouldn't have felt a need to keep running to find my Bible and compare the story to what's written in Scripture.

I suppose it's a way for the gospel to be "brought to life" for secular readers, but I guess I prefer to read the Bible itself and pick up novels for fiction reading. Just my opinion. I think Charles Martin remains my favorite Christian author of all time.
