Though I Speak

I felt the book started very well in order to pull the reader into the times and circumstance of the characters. It was very inlightening as to how disabled people were thought of and treasted during the time that Jesus was on this earth. Even though the book wasn't about Jesus, I think seeing his effect on the characters of the book gave me a much better understanding of why the people treated Him the way they did. I felt it was very well written and kept my interest. Upon finishing the book I really would like to see her do a second book to continue the story of Merian.

This book gave me the word pictures and feelings of the time of Jesus and what it must have been like for ordinary people to ponder who He was and is. I grew up in a legalistic background and Kim presented well the difference in the law of religion and the love that comes from the Man to change lives.
