Our Little Project

This is the book called "Jesus the Christ"


It's kinda a beast.
It's 816 pages.
And the writing can be incredibly hard to follow sometimes.
Thomas and I are reading it together.
Our goal is to have it finished by our wedding.
Which, by the way, we think we've finally settled on a date.
But that will not be officially announced until the official engagement.
But anywho, that's our goal.
If you haven't read it, I highly encourage you to.
Thomas and I both {tried} to read it over the mission.
But it's a really deep, tough read, and neither of us could get through it.
So we thought we would try together.
We've been reading a chapter a night (or notes a night - there's a note section following each chapter).
We're about to start chapter three.
If you read it (which you all should) it might be a good idea to have a dictionary on hand.
We do.
And I like to take notes while I read too.
And having scriptures handy are good too, to cross-reference and stuff.

I'm really excited for this little project.
Even though the book can be hard to read, I love that we make time every time we're together to read it.
I love that it's bringing us closer to Christ and to each other.
I think it's the perfect way to start the rest of our life together.

  2. You can find the book at Amazon.com, any LDS bookstore, and the iBook store as well. I'm not sure if common bookstores like Barnes & Noble or Borders carry it.

  3. I just ordered a copy of "Jesus the Christ" which seems to be the Catholic version of the one you are reading. I would have gotten the Mormon version, but I think I would have been too confused. This way I'll hopefully get the same information, minus the confusion. Thanks for the inspiration!
