Summary of this Book...
The first and last gospels in the New Testament of the Bible are respectively those attributed to Mark and John. In this radical new English translation of the ancient Greek texts, noted Bible scholar, John Howard Reid, has restored the original narrative told to Mark by Simon Peter. For John's gospel account, Reid has put the events back into order, separated the contributions of John, the Beloved Disciple, from those of John, the Elder, and restored the original Foreword and Afterword.
This type of Book is good for...
everyone who has even a passing interest in the Bible and the basic beliefs of Christianity.
I especially liked...
the easy-to-read chapters which are entirely free of all the ridiculous numbers that make reading conventional Bibles such a chore.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
read it again. The narratives flow so smoothly, they carry the reader through the book at a fast pace.
This Book made me feel...
happy and secure. Although I'm not a regular churchgoer, I now realize that God's love is not confined. His love extends to everybody.
The author of this Book...
obviously knows what he s talking about. I found his 27 pages of Notes almost as interesting as the text itself.
I recommend this Book because...
it is so easy to read. In fact the author makes reading these gospels an exciting and powerful experience.
