The Message The Gospel of John: The Gospel of John in Contemporary Language

"I came so that they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of." Sound appealing? The book youre holding in your hands can help you to experience the power of truth-of life-in an indescribable, unbelievable new way. Read what John witnessed as he walked alongside Jesus, the man who has had the greatest impact of all time upon our world--a man whose message of raw truth, pure love, and clear purpose just might radically change your life. Eugene Petersons modern paraphrase, The Message: The Gospel of John , brings Johns message of transforming hope and life directly to you, in todays language. Experience Gods message. Find hope. Be changed. ** Theres a translation of Scriptures that this guy Eugene Peterson has undertaken. It has been a great strength to me. Hes a poet and a scholar, and hes brought the text back to the tone in which the books were written. --BONO, lead singer of the music group U2* There is so much that is fake about our society. My generation is craving something that is real, honest, and true. The Message is straight up! Its modern, relevant, and direct. --REBECCA ST.
