Book Cover & Preview Text
John, the son of Zebedee, was the brother of James. He was a fisherman, and one of the apostles. He was first a disciple of John the Baptist, and was directed to Jesus by John the Baptist.
John was prominent in the early church, and was associated with Peter on several occasions. He wrote the Gospel of John, John I, II, and III, and the Book of Revelation. The latter was written while John was exiled on the
John was probably more closely associated with Jesus than any of the other disciples; perhaps because he was the youngest, and/or because his family contributed to the support of Jesus and His ministry.
Christ Jesus lived in the beginning;
He has always been alive.
He lived with God; He, too, is God;
He is the author and giver of life.
Christ Jesus created all things;
Nothing exists that He didn''t make.
Life, even eternal life, is in Him.
And no one His life can take.
In Him was the light for mankind.
Darkness is dispelled by His Light.
God sent a man to testify about Him,
So men could receive spiritual sight.
This True Light offered light to the world;
Yet, the world failed to recognize Him.
He came to earth as a human being,
And He grew into manhood among them.
Christ was full of forgiveness and truth.
His glory was seen by three men.
This glory identified Him as God''s son,
And He came to earth to die for sin.
John testified of Christ Jesus to people.
He identified Him as the Promised One.
He is greater than any of His creations,
God''s only Beloved and Begotten Son.

About the Book
God loved the world so much
That He gave it His one and only Son,
That whoever believes in His royalty,
Eternal life for himself he’s won.
“I am, the GOOD SHEPHERD,” He said;
”And all My sheep know
My Father and I created a plan
For Me to die for My sheep.”
“Martha, I am the RESURRECTION,
And all who believe in Me will live.
Even if a man dies here on earth,
New life to him I will give.”
“LAZARUS, come out!” Jesus ordered.
The dead man responded to His call.
His body was wrapped in burial linen;
Yet, he walked out before them all!
