Los rumores en relación al milagro de la Anunciación a la Virgen María y el nacimiento de Jesucristo rodeado de valiosas ofrendas de los Reyes Magos, circulan como una leyenda frecuentemente comentada en Nazareth. Jeshua bar Joseph (Jesucristo) es apodado por muchos como "El no pecador", sin embargo nadie puede confirmar que posea un don especial. Requerido por muchos, e incluso por su propia madre, para contraer matrimonio con la joven y bella Avigail, Jesucristo habrá de enfrentarse a duras insinuaciones y a terribles e inesperados conflictos ante su negativa a casarse. Tendrán que pasar varios meses hasta que su primo Juan el Bautista le bautice en el río Jordán y descubra de este modo a todos los pueblos que Él es El Elegido, El Salvador. Jesucristo y su pueblo deberán enfrentarse a los insultos de Poncio Pilato hacia su religión; en la soledad tendrá que luchar contra las tentaciones que le ofrece el mismo Diablo y, como en la realidad histórica, se rodeará de sus discípulos para propagar la palabra de Dios. Todo ello aliñado con varios de los más conocidos momentos históricos de la Biblia, dibujados ficticiamente: niños injustamente apedreados hasta la muerte, la transformación de piedras en panes, de agua en vino durante la esperada boda de Avigail, la expulsión de los siete demonios del cuerpo de María Magdalena, etc.

El Mesias - Camino a Cana (Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana)
The Road to Cana is a novel and does not pretend to be otherwise. It is the story of about a year in Jesus' life, and ends at the wedding at Cana.
Some of the characters are known from scripture; others are creations of Ms. Rice. Jesus is portrayed as being a somewhat strange, but very loving member of a large extended family. James is named as his brother, but it is noted that he was Joseph's son by his first wife, not by Mary. Further the book, which is written in the first person and told from Jesus' point of view, describes his kinship relationship to several people and then notes "they are my sisters and my brothers". A main character in the book is the bride at the wedding at Cana--Jesus loves her but realizes that marrying her is not his vocation.
Throughout the book Jesus speaks of feeling like something was just beyond where he was. Finally, after his baptism, when He is in the desert, the book says "The dawn came. And the dawn came again, and again. I lay in a heap as the sand blew over me. And the voice of the Lord was not in the wind; and it was not in the sand; and itw as not in the sun; and it was not in the stars. It was inside me. I'd always known who I really was. I was God. And I'd chosen not to know it. Well, now I knew just what it meant to be the man who knew he was God." Next, Rice does a great job of fleshing out the story of the three temptations in the desert.
I think a very real temptation in writing a novel about Jesus is to make Him in your image; rather than to allow Him to remake you in His. However, I think Rice does a good job of expanding on the Biblical Christ rather than remaking Him. The scene between Mary and Him at the wedding was almost funny. He didn't want to "go public" but she knew it was time.
If anyone is hesitant about reading this book because of the content of Ms. Rice's vampire books (or some others I'll not mention)I have read that at the the time she wrote the vampire books, she was an atheist and/or agnostic. Since that time she has reverted to her Catholic faith and written these two books about Jesus. Her latest book is about her reversion, and it is on my to be read list.
