THE LIFE OF JESUS is a careful weaving of the four Gospels into one seamless telling of the life of Jesus. From the New Living Translation, it reads like a modern novel, but is – word for word – entirely from the Bible. This is an excellent book for anyone to read who wants to know for themselves exactly what the Bible says about Jesus before reading the four separate accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. This handy 230 page paperback is published by Tyndale House Publishers and is available free of charge on request. Quantity is limited.

This 122 page book has just four chapters covering the person, life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Published by Harvest House Publishers, we are offering it free of charge while our supply lasts.
