Garrison Keillor and Dan Johnson both grew up in the bosom of fundamentalism. Their shared love of the Bible and its stories led to this collaboration, which blends details from all the gospels into a single book-length story.Keillor narrates the biography of this amazing man, Jesus, from the slum of Nazareth in the province of Galilee, who confounded dignitaries, healed the sick, and taught those who would listen. He claimed to be God, and that through his death God would graciously forgive the offenses of all who accept this. His story is the foundation from which Christianity has developed, stumbled, and evolved. Centuries ago, early Christians listened as the Bible was read to them. This new recording continues that tradition with a conversational translation performed by America’s favorite storyteller.

I am very impressed by this recording. Mr. Keillor does an excellent job offering a quiet, serious, meditational and devotional reading of a compilation of the life and teachings of Jesus. It comes across as the reading of a great story, which of course it is, but also brings with it a depth of sincerity and seriousness, with a comfortable clarity, that results in a truly unique audio recording of a harmony of the Gospels. I believe many will find this recording deeply moving. The reading does not suffer from the all too common failing in such projects: reading too dramatically and overwrought, or reading in a sort of stuffy, stained-glass tone, both of which styles have always struck me sa off-putting and distracting the listener. Mr. Keillor's calm, warm, deliberate manner draws one into the text and that is as it should be. The recording uses the New Living Translation which works well to make possible a reverent and yet conversational tone which listeners will appreciate. Highly recommended.
