Throughout the past twenty centuries, the gospel of John, penned by the disciple whom Jesus loved, has testified in a unique way to the majesty and glory of Christ. It is the only Gospel which states that its primary objective is evangelistic-to bring people to faith in Jesus Christ, proclaiming the good news of God's love through His Son. This not only has brought encouragement and blessings to millions of Christians throughout the ages, the gospel of John conveys some of the Bible's greatest statements and stories concerning Jesus. The Word For Today is pleased to present the collaboration of Chuck Smith-who brought clear Bible teaching to a lost generation of young people in Southern California-and Rick Griffin, one of the stellar artists of that generation who came to faith in Jesus. The Gospel of John integrates Chuck Smith's simple, yet profound, paraphrasing with Rick Griffin's art to present an illuminated manuscript highlighting the amazing life of Jesus of Nazareth.
