Review # 1 was written on 2018-08-04 00:00:00 Samuel azucena Azucena "Luke's Story: By Faith Alone" shows marked improvement in story development by Mssrs. La Haye and Jenkins. You still have the wonderful Scriptural background that the authors' first book, "The Story of John" was noted for, but this time, the reader is treated to a more detailed and fascinating portrait that is Luke. In this story, we learn of Luke's rise from a slave to becoming a physician. Ultimately, Luke becomes a Christian when receiving his evangelical witness from the Apostle Paul. Most importantly, we feel the characters are written with greater dimension, and come to appreciate why Luke was compelled to write his Gospel with such care and specificity. This book was a pleasant improvement over the first in the series, "The Jesus Chronicles".

Review # 2 was written on 2012-03-09 00:00:00 Justin Hanuse Written by a pastor, Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, chair of the Moody Bible Institute, these two authors have collaborated on many religious books. This one is 3rd in the Jesus Chronicles. The beginning third of the book was fun to read though not well written. Probably it was conjectured, but the story of Luke (Bible New Testament Luke and Acts) growing up as a slave who was favored by his rich master and therefore taught to read and tutored was a good read. The book remains interesting as it moves on to Luke's college period as a medical and stoicism student. (His college seems a little too similar to today's college experiences.) Luke, a Greek, enjoyed a friendship with a Jew until the man who intended to be a Rabbi realized he was not to fraternize with people other than Jews. Of course, in the conversion to Christianity section of the book, they rejoin their friendship. As the book gets into the period of conversion and writing the gospel and trips in the service of God and friendship with Paul, it begins using Luke's gospel as its' words and substitutes preaching for story. I got bored and gave up with reading as this part was sufficiently familar. I should have known it would be. The book ends with Luke's segments of the Bible and Acts.
