Jesus The Egypt Years by Femi Martin is a compelling historical fiction that provides an insightful account of the journey of Jesus and his parents in Egypt. The book narrates the circumstances that led to their migration from their home in Judaea to Egypt, where they sought refuge from the wrath of King Herod. The king was deeply troubled by the news that a holy child was born who would eventually take over his throne. Fearing the loss of his power, he embarked on a mission to kill the child, which led Joseph and Mary, Jesus's parents, to flee with him to Egypt.

On his second set of attempts, Herod applied high and experienced mercenaries with zero tolerance for failure, leading to the death of one of his ministers because he made a minor error by allowing Jesus to escape abduction. The book raises ultimate questions such as: Did Herod succeed in his mission? How did he plan to achieve his goal? Did he manage to kill the holy child Jesus? What happened to Jesus's parents? Readers will find answers to these questions in the book.

The book offers a detailed account of the struggles they faced in Egypt. The author's writing style is captivating, making it a must-read for anyone interested in history and religion. I like the narrative nature of the book. The book is expository and engaging. The book title is a positive aspect of the book.

There are no negative aspects to the book. The book has different plots, and the author professionally harmonized the plots together. I do not dislike the book. The book editing is flawless. I recommend the book Jesus The Egypt Years by Femi Martin to Christians and religious leaders. Anyone who loves the teachings of the bible will find the book entertaining.

I rate the book Jesus The Egypt Years by Femi Martin 5 out of 5 stars. The reasons for my rating are above.

Fantastic review. Fiction based on real-world events or concepts rarely captures my attention. However, if there were fascinating historical contexts about ancient Egypt—which I'm curious to learn—I would reconsider.

You appreciates various elements of the book, including the interesting characters, humorous interactions, engaging world-building, and the easy-to-follow language. The mention of entertaining encounters, such as Jeremiah's first interaction with John and the teasing between James, John, and Rosa, adds a personal touch to the review. The inclusion of illustrations and poems in the book would surely enhance the overall experience for the reader.
