The Road to Cana, like Out of Egypt before it, paints a believeable and engaging picture of life in Nazareth. Rice brings Jesus to age in this small town, amidst a large family and a crowded house. Rice's portrayal of Jesus' baptism by John and the temptation in the desert are masterful. She has taken the biblical account of the wedding at Cana and made if far more beautiful and much more meaningful. I read the whole book in just over 24 hours.

Well written. Food for thought. Makes the Lord seem so real and close!

A gave the first volume 3 stars, and remarked that it was on the dull side. But perhaps I enjoyed it more than I admitted, because the instant this second volume came out, I grabbed a copy and finished it in a day. I have no similar complaints here, and can safely say that if you made it through volume 1, you might as well keep going. I particularly enjoyed the account of the desert.
As the titles says, she takes us only so far as the wedding at Cana, which does not cover alot of ground. One wonders how many volumes there will be to the series.

Anne Rice has painted a picture of Christ that might give us an insite into the times of his life. It is interesting how she incorporated the life and times of the Jewish culture along with the birth of my Christian faith.
