The Friends of Jesus Volume 2

De: Karen Kingsbury

Narrado por: January LaVoy, Kirby Heyborne

America’s favorite inspirational novelist and #1 New York Times bestselling author paints vividly realized portraits of six of Jesus’ closest friends and companions, bringing biblical truths to life in this captivating continuation of her Life-Changing Bible Story series.

In our everyday lives, friends are the people whom we spend the most time with, go through struggles with, and who know us best. Each of Jesus’ friends—Peter, John, Matthew, Judas, Mary Magdalene, and Lazarus—traveled with Jesus and were part of His daily ministry, and each has a compelling story to tell. There were some who would question or doubt Him…and one would even betray Him. Kingsbury brings these fascinating personalities to life in ways that will not only help bring you closer to the truths found in Scripture, but also to Christ.

By combining valuable, instructive Bible study with compelling, insightful character sketches of Jesus’ companions, Kingsbury provides you with a deeper understanding of the scriptural teachings featuring these fascinating people. Emotionally powerful, thought-provoking, and soulful, The Friends of Jesus will help you to appreciate the Bible and understand how it applies to your relationships with the most important people in your life.

Wonderful depiction of Jesus as a friend

This story really made you think of Jesus not as you normally would but more in depth as a true friend. the narration and the story itself her beautifully done.

Simply Amazing

Never before have I heard stories of Jesus come to life like this. I'm awe struck.

Great story teaching of giving your all to Jesus.

I felt that the thread of love and giving of oneself running through the book was the true meaning of Jesus love.

Wonderful

I have so enjoyed this book along with the family of Jesus also. It really put you in the story with them.

Inspiring

Evan having heard these stories of the Bible before listening to this makes them much more inspiring and personable. I will definitely listen to the other books.

Watch Jesus's Friend Come Alive

Another great book by Karen Kingsbury. This is only the second book I have read by her and I enjoyed the first one just as well. It was titled, " Family of Jesus". Just Beautiful the way Karen makes the friends of Jesus come alive.

loved it!!

I absolutely loved thus book. Just reading it brought me to tears in a good way. It was so real and went right along with the bible.

surprised I wasn't familiar with all the stories.

I liked how she connects the dots and makes the stories fit together and paint a picture of life with Jesus. Karen does make assumptions, but nothing too large of a stretch.

Good little stories.

well written and well narrated. Not my favorite, but good nonetheless.

brings Bible to life

I liked how the enactments made the people from the Bible more real, especially the story of Mary Magdalene. Some liberties with John not so much but is still Biblical. I didn't enjoy the reader as much as the reader for The Mitford Years by Jan Karon.
