Author Description

Nearly two thousand years ago, thousands of lucky souls received the opportunity of a lifetime: to walk with and listen to and learn from the Son of God Himself. For just over thirty-three brief years, Jesus of Nazareth walked among flesh, performing miracles that defied logic, and teaching words of great truth, culminating in the ultimate sacrifice of His death on the cross, securing a pathway for any person to spend eternity with Him.Though several accounts purport to be factual retelling of those years, only four were accepted by the ones that were closest to the events themselves, and so comprise the grouping in the New Testament found as the Gospels. Simply but beautifully written, these four books give us an inside look at the Man Himself, and the life that still continues to impact mankind to this day.Are the four accounts different in their own way? Absolutely. Matthew tells the story of Jesus with a particularly Jewish audience in mind, while John's more intimate Gospel focuses on the different conversations Jesus had with various individuals, in a way that invites all to listen. Despite the four accounts having slightly different events - or retelling of the same events - they harmonize so perfectly so as to leave the reader feeling closer to Him, rather than confused - precisely what the Gospels were designed to do.
