Encounter Christ Through the Dramatic Story of Vinegar Boy

Rating:
Summary: Beautifully Written!
Review: Alberta Hawse has a vivid, delightful style, and her story of a young orphan who hopes Jesus will give him the life he wants is captivating...not just in the way it re-tells the events of the crucifiction day, but in revealing the change that happens to a heart that encounters the living God. Highly recommended.

Summary: Not Interesting Whatsoever
Review: I didnt appreciate this book as much as I thought I would. The spiritual and hopeful thoughts in this story was a little too much for me. I do not recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: REAL CLASSIC!!
Review: This is a real classic that I wasn't familiar with until recently. It is a fictional account of a young boy directly involved in the events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Since I was so impressed with the book, I've been sharing it with others. The book was originally published by Moody ("The Name You Can Trust") in 1970, republished in 1989, and published again in 2002. I agree with the comment on the back cover of the 2002 edition that this is definitely "a classic work of fiction that has inspired thousands of Christians for decades." After reading the book, I believe this would make an excellent Easter drama presentation.
