Diary fiction; Historical fiction; Jesus Christ -- Fiction
Produced by Al Haines
FROM THE COVER OF CHRIST’S JOURNAL:
In Christ’s Journal, the author takes a daring step in this unique
novel and places the reader for the first time in the shoes of The
Fisherman. In this finely crafted and historically realistic portrait
of the ancient Biblical world, Bartlett recreates the moving story of
the last months of Christ’s life as Jesus Himself may have
experienced them when He brought to mankind a message of love and
enduring hope.
Bartlett’s writing has been praised by many leading authors,
reviewers, and critics, among them:
JAMES MICHENER, novelist: “I am much taken with Bartlett’s work
and commend it highly.”
CHARLES POORE in The New York Times: “...believable characters
who are stirred by intensely personal concerns.”
GRACE FLANDRAU, author and historian: “...Characters and scenes
are so right and living...it is so beautifully done, one
finds oneself feeling it is not fiction but actually
experienced fact.”
JAMES PURDY, novelist: “An important writer... I find great
pleasure in his work. Really beautiful and distinguished.”
ALICE S. MORRIS in Harper’s Bazaar: “He tells a haunting and
beautiful story and manages to telescope, in a brilliantly
leisurely way, a lifetime, a full and eventful lifetime.”
RUSSELL KIRK, novelist: “The scenes are drawn with power.
Bartlett is an accomplished writer.”
PAUL ENGLE in The Chicago Tribune: “...articulate, believable
... charms with an expert knowledge of place and people.”
