It's both a harmonization of the gospels, and a commentary on them, but much richer.\u003cbr\u003e The perspectives change depending on the episode. Sometimes the perspective is from that of a disciple, sometimes from that of a person being healed or a bystander observing. The Christmas story is told from the perspective of Shepherds, the Crucixion scene dwells on the perspective of Simon of Cyrene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 314\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 25, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42106833371271,"sku":"9781945978548","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/1bdfea1b616e51a41f82f5de37084910.webp?v=1732448839","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/with-my-own-eyes-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
