John the Gospel of Life by D. George Vanderlip

Creation, revelation, and redemption - how John interpreted these concepts in relation to Jesus Christ and their message for the modern-day Christian. A fresh, new approach to the Gospel of joy and hope, for those seeking a deeper understanding of the abundant life through faith in Jesus Christ, and what it means to become his disciple.

Also, with the Kindle version, be aware that the sidebars & other extra info given are intermingled in with the main content. That was confusing at first, but when I noticed the different spacing and how they're slightly set apart from the regular text, I understood what was going on.… (more)
