A masterpiece

For those who need to take a moment and remember Who Jesus is and did for us, this is a must. Beautiful images with deep comments that makes you love Him and desire to be like Him.

He Was One of Us by Rien Poortvliet

WOW, POWERFUL!!!The emotions that these pictures capture are amazing. My spirit just wept as I read this book. It brings to life the story of CHRIST in a way a child can comprehend, yet an adult will read over and over.It is amazing how the simple text can pile such truth about the story of CHRIST. It is alive and real. These pictures are a gift... one that takes you to the time HE was crucified. I highly recommend this book for parents, teachers to read to their class or children. Only after you have read it will you understand the gift that this book is to the truth of our salvation.

Had this book for about 20 years.

I love it. What I find most illuminating is that it reflects Jesus in the faces of the people around Him. He still has that effect today. I'm thinking about buying a copy for our church library.

Marvelous art supports touching life-like depiction of Jesus

I go back to this book to feed my soul and see Jesus from ever new perspective. Rich art leaving room for personal space with Christ. Key phrases are selected to complete the art as the art completes the phrases. Good sense of the Mediterranean influence on Christ's life. He draws the reader into that milieu. Great book!

Art work is awakening

I received this book as a gift. The picture of Elizabeth greeting Mary is so powerful. The image of an aged Jewish woman, with thin arms and a full belly is amazing. This makes the book worth having.
