John (2nd Edition)

The Word is not just dead letters; it's the Living Expression of God-Jesus Christ. The Word came with skin on as the Perfect Man and the living manifestation of God's glory. The Gospel of John helps us meet this beautiful Christ. John is also the Gospel of believing. This book reveals that Jesus Christ is the Light of the World, the Savior, the King, the true Anointed One, the Living Bread, and the Loving Shepherd. While Matthew, Mark, and Luke give us the history of Christ, John unveils the mystery of Christ. Through his gospel we experience Jesus as the Lamb of God, the Good Shepherd, the Kind Forgiver, the Tender Healer, the Compassionate Intercessor, and the Great I Am. Who can resist this Man when he tugs on hearts to come to him? The Passion Translation of John's gospel will help you encounter the heart of God through Jesus as the loving God in flesh and blood.
