1934 First Edition, The Life of Our Lord by Charles Dickens

The Life of Our Lord is a heartfelt retelling of the life of Jesus Christ, written by Charles Dickens between 1846 and 1849 for his children. Intended as a private family text, it was never meant for publication during his lifetime. In simple and accessible language, Dickens shares the story of Christ’s birth, teachings, miracles, crucifixion, and resurrection, emphasizing Christian values of love, compassion, and forgiveness. This personal devotional work offers insight into Dickens' deep faith and his desire to instill moral guidance in his children. It was first published in 1934, decades after his death, with the permission of his descendants.
