The King Nobody Wanted

Description

Norman F. Langford has written one of the most appealing and easy to read version of the Gospel you can find just about anywhere you look. The story of Jesus Christ from the New Testament is presented in simple words, accurate Bible verses quoted from the King James version of the Bible, and a gentle narrative style that even children could easily relate to.

The story of Jesus needs no introduction. When the people of Israel were longing for the long-awaited Messiah to come and liberate them from their oppressive king and the Roman invaders, they did not expect the Lord to take the form of a lowly carpenter’s son from a small village. Born in humility and growing up among simple men and women, the real King of Israel was soon ready to spread his wisdom and show the people of his land that God never has and never will abandon them.

Starting from relating the dire circumstances that the Jews found themselves in before the birth of Christ, Langford continues through a smooth and enjoyable narrative to present the birth of the Lord, as well as His early years, wise teachings, miracles, and finally his death and rebirth, in a straightforward style that you can easily relate to.

Whether you’ve been reading the scriptures all your life, or you’ve just bought Langford’s book for your curious child to read without any foreknowledge of the New Testament’s stories and teachings, you’ll find The King Nobody Wanted to be an evenly-paced, easy to follow story that never attempts to forcefully depict Jesus as an otherworldly, preachy priest, but presents him as the natural, authentic Teacher who was always close to the people, and treated them with the fairness, kindness and immeasurable compassion that his Father in Heaven had blessed him with.
