James, the Lynchpin of Our Faith: How the Brother of Jesus Jump-Started the Early Church by David Kitz [REVIEW]

SYNOPSIS

James—the brother of Jesus—who was this man? What evidence do we have that this “brother of our Lord” even existed?

David Kitz digs deep into the biblical texts, archaeology, family dynamics, and church history. What emerges from his research is a portrait of a decisive, pivotal leader who embodied the will and character of Jesus Christ.

But how did James—James the unbeliever—transfoorm to become a leader who changed the course of world history? In these pages you will uncover the answer and rediscover for yourself the life-changing power of the gospel.

REVIEW

Kitz has crafted an engrossing narrative about what it may have been like to be part of Jesus’ earthly family. Was there strife between all of the siblings? How did Mary handle the sibling rivalry? How did the death of Joseph affect the family? To me, these are questions we probably won’t have the answers to this side of Heaven.

I received this book free from the author, publisher, or other source. My only obligation is to provide a fair and honest review.
