Description: About this Book: The wish of Charles Dickens was that this book was never to be published, but to be read by only his children, Therefore, don't be surprised by a very different form of writing. It wasn't written with any particular fictitious story-line in mind. The novel was written by a man, sharing his own love and beliefs of Jesus, with his own little ones. ''The Life of Our Lord'' was his way of teaching his children to do good on earth, to treat all humans and animals, with love and respect.

As a father, Dickens wish was to share his beliefs of the birth and life of Jesus Christ, and he wrote the words, at a level of reading, that could and would be easily understood by his children; only he knew what they could and could not understand. Don't be like one or two members of Goodreads, who foolishly wrote reviews stating how saddened they were that this Dickens story was just not up to his iconic level of writing. Poppycock! Instead, read of the 100s of readers who loved this precious novel. North America is a wonderful, free place to live. Freedom of speech is the name of the game, and a gift I am very grateful to accept.
