The Life of Our Lord is a heartwarming and simple retelling of the life of Jesus Christ, adapted from the Gospel of St. Luke. In this delightful narrative, Charles Dickens shares the story of Jesus with his young children, aiming to instill in them the values of religion and faith.

Written during the years 1846 to 1849, this work remained a cherished family secret for over eighty-five years, passed down through generations. Dickens refused its publication during his lifetime, intending it solely for his children's understanding and spiritual growth.

Eventually published in 1934, this narrative captures the essence of Dickens's storytelling, blending faith and family in a unique portrayal of Jesus's teachings and background.
