Yesterday Framed in Today: The Alden Collection

I love this book. It gave me a fresh perspective on the gospel, and how people will react to new ways.

This book tells what it would have been like if Christ came in modern times.I think everyone should own this book.It makes you feel like you were really there and knew Christ yourself.It shows how some people followed him and hung on his every word and how others despised him.It is a great book for both new Christians and old,and it makes a great gift for an unbeliever

I came upon this book quite by chance, and have not read any other by this author. If any of her many other works are as wonderful and insightful as this, I won't hesitate to obtain some of her other stories! This is the story of Christ Jesus with a strange twist. It is set in the late 1800's. Mrs. Alden writes this story as if HE hadn't come until then and portrays the public reaction as she believes it would have been in that time which is startlingly similar to the reactions when it really happened. If you think about what your reaction would be if God's Son showed up in your town in a quiet and unassuming way, what kind of faith and belief would you have? In this day and age, we have come to expect grand, magnificent gestures before we believe something momentous is happening. This is a story that shows us how little things have changed. The nature or spirit of man is still to a great extent residing in darkness away from the light of God..
