Through Scripture and spoken word, Jesus continues to attract millions of followers today. In many ways, those who seek Christ now differ little from those whose stories we learn in the Gospels: Peter, Nicodemus, Mary, the Samaritan leper, even Judas.

Professor Simon J. Kistemaker has spent his professional life studying the words and actions of those who spent time with Jesus. In The Conversations of Jesus he offers a glimpse into the lives of those who were touched by encounters with Jesus Christ. Readers will find much in common with these first-century people, including their feelings of inadequacy, confusion, and joy at meeting the Savior.

Ideal for laypersons and pastors, The Conversations of Jesus helps readers strengthen their walks with Christ as they learn about others who have walked this path before.

This is a fictionalized, but reverent story of the Christ. And it is the story of James, the brother of the Lord. It is based on the life of the two men and those around them as recorded in the Holy Bible. It contains a blending of the history, geography, religion politics and culture that surrounded and influenced the lives of Jesus, James and others. The beliefs and customs of the Jewish people and the teaching of Jesus are set against a backdrop of the politics of the time.

The Bible has sold more copies than any other book and continues to sell year after year. Continuing in its footsteps is the Eyewitness series written for the average person.

Flash back to first century AD. One man appeared who shook up the world. Four men testified to what they saw and heard. The details of JesusÂ’ life were recorded by four of his closest followers. Each account is written from a different perspective and only one of the four tells the events in chronological order. Therefore, for centuries, the accounts have been told in out-of-sequence fragments.

Eyewitness compiles the information from the Gospels and hundreds of other Bible verses into one chronological story laid out like a story without reference or verse. The result is a seamless combination of the four gospel books that will appeal to customers across the board, even those who would not normally purchase a Bible. Multiple bindings and an aggressive advertising and marketing campaign will insure this line carries strong sales for years to come.

This is a small, softcover booklet with a big message.

Compelling and powerful, it’s also a compact, low-priced way to share the Jesus story in one seamless narrative. The Story of Jesus: Teen Edition is one book that will be read again and again.
