The Life of Our Lord Charles Dickens

I got this book for Christmas from my mother, and I plan to read it to my grandchildren. The book was written during the years 1846 to 1849 for Dickens children, and by his request not published for 85 years. He wanted his children to learn about the life and teachings of Jesus, in the simple language of any father telling a story. He sums up the Christian message by telling them always to do good, even to those who aren't good to us, and to always be kind and forgiving.I think it is going to be a wonderful read-aloud.
