Customer Reviews

The Christ Report

I have read all of James Pratt's books and find them to be one of the best.I just read "the Christ Report" and found it to be very interesting.He put himself back at the time of Jesus and told how he percieved things that were happening.It's partly fiction but names and situations were just as it had to be back then. Chuck Drinkwater

A message of hope

With negative headlines blaring all around us, this book brings a much needed message of hope. It is a lovely story of Sam, living in today's world, and Cleopas,living in the time of Jesus, finding out what really matters in life. And then once they find it, changing their lives to actually experience it. The author skillfully weaves an intriguing story around the greatest events that have taken place on this earth--the birth and death of Jesus Christ. Sam and Cleopas will lead you through time with a story that will gladden your heart!

A wonderful story!

I just loved this story! I think that even if you weren't so much a "person of faith", that you would like this book and it would hopefully inspire you, the way it did me. When I first saw the title of the book, "The Christ Report", I thought it was some religious book of theological mumbo jumbo, but it was a really good story (as are all of James Michael Pratt's works that I have read) and I enjoyed being enveloped in the story-line as I read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to briefly escape reality and go on a really cool journey!

For Those Who Want Proof...and Those Who Don't Need It

The Christ Report is a cross between Og Mandino's "The Christ Commission" and "The Greatest Salesman on Earth", and Lee Strobel's "The Case For Christ"; with the love of a man for his wife thrown in. The Christ Report is immensely readable. It's one of those stories you'll sit up late at night to finish and you'll regret closing the book when you're done because you're so caught up in the adventure. James Michael Pratt again reinforces my faith in his ability to tell a story that will take the reader's focus off their circumstances and raise their eyes over the rim of the rut they find themselves in. Certainly, James is an expert at moral clarity, but he's also a great story teller who draws pictures of people who overcome tremendous obstacles for those they love. In an age where it's easy to give up on someone, where technology allows us to text and email someone without ever having to look them in the eye, it's good to find someone who is not shallow or content to simply let life happen to them. The purpose of The Christ Report isn't to convince anyone of the reality of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, but to cause us to look deep inside and confront our own dependence upon someone bigger than our circumstances. It is a love story of a man's fight to get back to the wife he loves more than life itself; and a story of forgiveness and mercy. When you sit down to read this book, first clear your mind and open your heart - and it will be filled.

A Great Read from the Master of Moral Fiction

I have read many of James Pratt's wonderful novels. I recall a number of years ago when one of the major book reviews declared James the "Master of moral fiction." He continues to earn that title wtih this remarkable work. Although this book departs from the themes of James' previous novels, it is rich with his highly entertaining and engrossing story-telling style. This book will stimulate your mind and your heart. James accomplishes the extremely diffictult task of moving the reader between two completely different worlds and times--ultra modern American life and ancient Jerusalem. He does this so effectively, you'll wonder at times if you are "actually there, 2,000 years ago." Christian or not, this highly engaging story will take your heart and mind to a level of contemplation you may not have experienced before. This book just might change your life!
