Jesus the Christ
Just finished reading this today! Took me a MONTH!!! (I normally read books of equal length in a week or less!) And in my quest for a Testimony it has been by far the most helpful book for me (after the Scriptures, obviously
 ). I love how it laid out Christ's life from Pre-existance to looking forward to the Second Coming, and put it all in context. It has made reading the four Gospels more enriching. Really just a great, meaty book!

I've yet to get through it. I read briefly in it during my mission a long time ago. Your post has inspired me, though, to continue in my reading the History of the LDS books. I think I'll read Jesus the Christ afterwards.

I read it a few times while on my mission.
I love the part where it talks about how Jesus' progress was unhindered because he was not weighed down by sin. This idea has stuck with me through the years.

Another good set of books is The Messiah series by Bruce R. McConkie.
I read them years ago but remember them as being an excellent read. Ben Raines
