John's Heart for the Church

This fictional piece is about a great man of the early church. It tells of his heart for a huge work left to him to protect and defend the struggling church. John deals with false teachings and jail as he boldly proclaims the truth about what God wants for His family on earth. He warns and pulls the church back to the original hope for us all. He challenges in public, others who would twist the truth to fit their agendas. All the while, dying, he commits his comments to paper with the help of his younger counterpart. The goal is to protect the growing church from inaccuracy and to keep the members united in their beliefs. The story is thought provoking to say the least. Although fiction,it gave me a wake-up call to seek the out the truth as John lovingly guides his followers to be on guard, even in the early days of the church. The author has done well with descriptions of the day and John's suffering for the church. Super natural at times,John continues to fight against all odds to live out his purpose on earth. Enjoy!

John's Story - The Jesus Chronicles

This book, like the second one in the series, fills out the biblical personalities and makes them really human and alive. It is full of information on the culture and political pressures of the time. It is fun, informative and hard to put down. I enjoyed it very much as I have many of Tim LaHaye's biblical fiction novels.

John's Story

Even though I have many times read John's words, it was so different to read them as if John was actually speaking them right now, and it made everything seem so much more real.

Very good book!!!

I really was blessed by this book and look forward to reading the next ones. I want to get paperback to match this one.

Insight to Understanding Scripture

Independent of what other reviewers have written, I have found this book to be just what it says it is, "Johns Story". While written as a work of fiction, it is however a study of the Gospel According to John. Through the dialogue between John and his scribe, Polycarp, the book of John is understood and meaning taken away. I found it interesting that the Book of John from the bible was incluede at the end of the book. Why, because once you finish the text and read John's work from the Bible, one will have a sense of understanding and clarity in the reading.
