The Story of Jesus

Experience the life and love of Jesus as told in the book of John by The Passion Translation. The Story of Jesus is the biographical account of Jesus' supernatural birth, controversial life, unjust death, confirmed resurrection, and promised return to earth as told by John, the beloved disciple. This book is a resource to introduce Jesus' life and the work of his Spirit to invite seekers, encourage saints, and challenge skeptics.  Possibly the best-known verse in the Bible is John 3:16, which demonstrates how much God loves each and every one of us:  'He gave his uniquely conceived Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life.'  What a gift! What a promise!  The Passion Translation is a new, heart-level translation that expresses God's fiery heart of love to this generation using Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic manuscripts, merging the emotion and life-changing truth of God's Word.
