The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd
1.0

I can't in good conscious recommend this book. I have no problem with Jesus being married, in fact I believe whole heartedly He was! He would have followed Jewish custom and to be truly exalted, He would have needed to be married. But it's how the author portrays Him that grates on borderline blasphemy. Yes, I believe Christ had to progress in His knowledge of what His ultimate purpose was, BUT the author portrays Him as almost ignorant too it. Anna is an annoying character, too self assured for the time period. Just don't read it.
