The central figure of all Scripture is God's son, Jesus. Of course, the clearest and most compelling picture of him is the one presented in the four Gospels. But putting these differing accounts of the life of Christ together in an orderly way is sometimes difficult as they were written by different people to unique audiences for various purposes. "Simply Jesus" is a chronological account of the life of Christ that provides an overview of his life and character. Sidebars, lists, and other resources provide commentary and context to highlight important themes in the biblical text. Believers of all stripes will love this simple, meaningful summary of the most important figure of their faith, and it makes a perfect giveaway for friends and loved ones who want an introduction to Jesus and his teachings. Includes a foreword by Woodrow Kroll.
