Synopsis "The Life of our Lord (Pure Gold Classics): An Enduring Legacy of Christian Faith "

The Life of Our Lord"I have always striven in my writings to express veneration for the life and lessons of our Saviour, because I feel it; and because I rewrote that history for my children."-Charles DickensThe Gospel Story of Jesus Christ revealed in the immutable words and style of one of the world's greatest authors.In this extraordinary Christian classic work, The Life of Our Lord, the greatest novelist unfolds the greatest story about the greatest person the world has ever known. This little known "lost book" of Charles Dickens was guarded as a sacred family secret for 85 years since it was first handwritten for his children in 1849, and hidden from public eye, until the Dickens family permitted it to be published in 1934.The Life of Our Lord is Charles Dickens' only non-fiction writing, and the one closest to his heart. It is a unique and special book that reflects Dickens' love of God and faith in Jesus Christ. With humility and adoration, the editors of Bridge Logos add this precious book to the distinguished Pure Gold Classics collection in anticipation and expectation that young and old alike will be richly blessed by the simplicity and warmth of the story of the life of our Saviour that Dickens left as a blessing to the world and a glorious testimony of his own personal relationship with the Lord."The Life of Our Lord is a brief, powerful exposé on the life of Christ that compels believers to passionately pursue Him and invites unbelievers to see the relentless love of God and free gift of eternal life Jesus offers to those that would place their faith and trust in Him. This Dickens classic is a legacy work of art with greater value than any wealthy estate that must be passed down to your posterity." -Dr. Rollan Roberts II, CEO, Courageous! and founder, Transform Africa"Gene Fedele uncovers a hidden literary treasure of Charles Dickens-The Life of Our Lord. With careful detail and beautiful prose readers will be drawn into the greatest story ever told by a master storyteller. Woven together with prayers and life lessons, this gospel according to Dickens is a wonderful gift for families and ministries worldwide."-Dr. Susan Freese, founder and president of All In Ministries International

Charles Dickens (February 7, 1812 - June 9, 1870) was born in Portsmouth and was the eldest son of a Royal Navy clerk. At twelve, his father's imprisonment for debt forced him to work in a blacking factory. His education was sporadic: he taught himself shorthand, worked as a clerk in a law office, and eventually became a parliamentary correspondent for the Morning Chronicle.

Coming from a humble family, "good old Charles" did not receive formal education until he was nine, and was heavily criticized by the critics of the time for being too self-taught. His life took an unexpected turn with his father's imprisonment for debts, moving his family to live with him in jail, allowed at that time by British laws. At the age of 12, he was already considered fit to start working in a dye factory. Although his family's situation had improved, his mother insisted he keep working there, inspiring him to write one of his masterpieces, David Copperfield.

His articles, later collected in Scenes from London Life by "Boz" (1836-1837), were very successful, and with the appearance in 1837 of The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, Dickens became a true publishing phenomenon. Novels such as Oliver Twist (1837-1839), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-1839), and Barnaby Rudge (1841) gained enormous popularity, as did some travel chronicles, such as Pictures from Italy (1846). With Dombey and Son (1846-1848) he began his mature period, of which good examples are David Copperfield (1849-1850), his first novel in the first person and his favorite, in which he developed some autobiographical episodes; Bleak House (1852-1853); Little Dorrit (1855-1857), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1860-1861), and Our Mutual Friend (1864-1865). He died at Gad's Hill, his country house in Higham, in the county of Kent.
