Were You There: Find Yourself With Jesus

Rating:
Summary: Beautiful
Review: Ron DiCianni's art is very powerful. I stared at the picture on the cover alone for a long time during my devotional time. What makes it so strong, is that he mixes the historical Jesus with real life characters. When I look at the picture of the cross, I realize that *I'm* the one who nailed him to the cross. It was my sins that caused him to die. The picture on page 15 entitled Heaven's Loss is equally powerful. Here, an angel watches over the baby Jesus in the manger. When you look at the angel closely, though, you realize that the angel has a tear in his eye. While the angels probably didn't know God's full plan, this picture really captures how the birth of Jesus changed everything-including heaven. The stories that accompany the art are also outstanding--and well worth the purchase.
