Although Oursler's language is a bit dated--and annoying with his occasional personal interjections, his version of Acts is still readable and enjoyable
An excellent little book, though one need carefully compare it to the scriptures themselves as the author tells the events in story form and has little self-restraint when it comes to "artistic license." Still, it is a wonderful little book and I recommend it, though a bit guardedly.

Completely faithful to the literal statements of the Scriptures, Oursler's retelling of the Old Testament sets real people against a painstakingly researched and vividly depicted background.
The story of Jesus life, using the gospels. There is some (a lot) liberty with the narrative but the story does flow. It makes for a nice read. I see what Oursler was doing with the story, there are some parts of the story that stretch what is in the Bible. I do not even know how to classify this book could say non-fiction but then there is much fiction in this book.
