Once again I am lead to believe I am buying a whole book when in fact it is only the first part of a story.  One is left actually hanging on the last page.  Many characters and their individual stories are introduced and all purposely left unfinished.  I wonder what is wrong with the author who has so little confidence in his writing, he tries to force you to buy his next book.There was no warning either, no "volume" or "part" 1, no mention on the cover that you were not buying a whole book.  Just a beautiful picture of Christ as a baby and a very heart touching picture of Christ as a man with a crown of thorns.  The pictures and the title totally lead you to believe you are buying a book that contains a story of Christ's whole life not just a few months when he turned 13! I would love to know where the reviewer who said this book wad about Christ's teen years through his twenties found that part of the story.  After reading many of the reviews I wonder if this originally came out ad a whole book and then hot chopped up into a serial of which I only got the first little part.It is very difficult for me to review a book that leaves me feeling unfulfilled.  This is a complete work of fiction but the authors style of writing made it read like what might really have happened.  I loved reading most of what was there and definitely wouldn't have been so disappointed had I chosen to read a serial work.  I was completely invested in the characters and would have given the book at least 4 stars had the author written a complete story with an ending.  I heartily dislike being blindsided & made to feel like I HAVE to buy the next book.  As seen by many books-HARRY POTTER for example-a book can be part of a bigger story and still have an ending.I was very disappointed when I finished this book.  I would not recommend it unless you are prepared to buy how ever many books this author plans on writing.  Judging by the very few months this book covers, it's going to be a lot!  :(NOT FOR ME! :(
