Matthew's Story (Jesus Chronicles Series #4)

by Tim LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins

Overview

The fourth installment in the Jesus Chronicles, from the bestselling author of the Left Behind series.

This story in the Jesus Chronicles depicts the life of the most unlikely of apostles-a sinner turned saint-and his time with the Lord. With Matthew, readers walk alongside Jesus as He gives the Sermon on the Mount, performs the miracles of healing the sick and raising the dead, contemplates His fate at the Last Supper and in the Garden of Gethsemane, is crucified, and most important, resurrected. Thrilling and uplifting, Matthew's Story shows how the true Messiah changed the life of one man, and forever altered the course of history.

Editorial Reviews

Robertson Dean brings the story of the biblical Matthew to life with his rich timbre and a variety of subtle vocal skills that achieve their aim: character distinctions. Dean expertly uses a haughty tone to portray Matthew’s initial arrogance. Later, when Matthew is broken by sin, one hears a humble, soft-spoken man. Dean’s timing and phrasing are impeccable. The rise and fall of his voice leaves no room for monotony in listening. But it’s not just Matthew who comes to life. Matthew’s parents, his brother, his tax-collecting partner, Jesus, Peter, and others sound vibrantly real. E.J.K. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
