Reading the gospels in form of sonnets sounds interesting. It is also good to see that the different gospels are unified. Jesus the Harmony: Gospel Sonnets for 366 Days by Gracia M. Grindal will be a valuable book for christians.

True! I'm always confused by how the four gospels tell the same events but with different number and data. For instance, how many baskets of leftovers were collected after Jesus fed the five thousand. It is still a source of argument. I would like to know how this book harmonized the four gospels.

I don't think I have read a sonnet before. I have read a few poems though. So, I'm eager to read this book of sonnets. I hope I enjoyed the stories of the gospels written in such lyrical manner. I feel that I would love it.

The four gospels are controversial. I wonder how the author was able to harmonize them all. I guess I will find out when I read the sonnets. I'm glad I came upon this review!
