John's Story

The Last Eyewitness

De: Tim LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins

Narrado por: Roberston Dean

The year is AD 95, and John, the one whom Jesus called "beloved", is the last of the 12 apostles still alive. Now nearing 90, John is still committed to spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. When a renegade begins misleading the masses with dangerous, heretical teachings, John is called by God to write a gospel to show that Jesus was, in fact, the Son of God.

Recalling his time with Jesus, John brings to life the miracles and messages of the man who would change the course of history. And as John recounts the miracles the Messiah performed during his transformative time on earth, we too are transported to those glorious events.

John experiences persecution, betrayal, torture, and exile but never falters in his belief or commitment. John's Story is a thrilling account of the life of the man who came to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament and to save all of humankind, and of the disciple who was the last eyewitness to Jesus' glory.

John's Story brings to life the most important events in human history and also includes the very words that John wrote, words that continue to bring followers to Jesus every day.

Fantastic

This book brings a wonderful after story of John the Apostle. I great imagining of what it must have been like to be in the 1st century church when John’s works we’re written.

I would give it six stars if possible...

It is an incredible journey through the Gospel of John. The historical fiction aspect is well generated to give the reader a true glimpse of what it would be like to be in the presence of Jesus. The dialogue is believable and the authors did a superb job of adding accurate historical evidence to support the text. If there was a sixth star, this book would deserve it.

The Bible at it's Best

What did you love best about John's Story?

Want to know what the books of the bible are about? These books are in story form....theme, characters, settings. I've tried to read the Bible a hundred times. With stories like this, I can read/listen to the Bible and fully understand each book. What did I love best about John's Story? It's the first of many that I will read.

What was one of the most memorable moments of John's Story?

When I found out that Saul became John, at Jesus' saying it was so.

What about Roberston Dean’s performance did you like?

Excellent.

If you could rename John's Story, what would you call it?

I wouldn't.

Come Lord Jesus Come.

this book provides some powerful and historic insights into the life of John that we don't get from reading the bible.

Love Listening to stories about the Bible

Big fan of this book and all his others. If you enjoy books that are about biblical themes this is a fantastic book.

good book

this was a good way to bring a the story of John to life, few know the life of a man that was so close to god. the cast brought the characters to life.

Eye opener!

I heard and read .com of the book of John listening to it made t come alive. It was so real . Hearing revelations makes you stop and pay attention.

The Word

The performance took a bit to absorb. Not because it was slow but because I wanted to absorb what I didn’t already know along with what I have read in the gospel. I appreciate John’s experience being boiled in oil and his retelling the supernatural things he saw Jesus do. My faith is stronger knowing Jesus is fully God and fully man

Great story and historical context

I very much enjoyed this listen. It was well read overall, although my personal preference is for the biblical narrative to be read in a natural voice.

Comes to Life !!!

I am still listening to this book, but to be hearing how the Bible or the Gospels of John came about is Awesome!!!! I feel as if I am there in history living out John's life with Jesus !!
