Discovering Good News in John

“Don’t let the beauty of the cover and cleverness of the page layouts make you think this book is not a serious study of God’s Word. It’s filled with life, knowledge, and joy. The learning available through this study reminds me of the apostle Peter’s conclusion about Jesus in John 6:68, “You have the words of eternal life.” This lovely book puts the life-giving messages and deeds of Jesus on brilliant display. Read, study, decorate, and be prepared to grow.”
