In his third book from the Study Verse by Verse series, Dr. Steve Schell offers an insightful commentary on the gospel of John, challenging readers to think more deeply about Jesus. Here is an "The challenge John’s gospel places before us is Will we, like John and Mary of Bethany, listen deeply to what Jesus said? Will we recognize the signs He performed and understand who they declared Him to be? Too many people in John’s day missed the point. They tried to fit Jesus into categories that made sense to them rather than listen carefully to what He said and see the meaning behind what He did." The book is meant to be used as a resource for pastors and Bible study leaders, as a reference for understanding difficult passages in the gospel of John and as a Bible study tool during personal devotions.
Pastor Steve's insight, explanations and wisdom are powerful. This book could be used for personal Bible study, for a group study or as a reference for pastors preparing sermons. It truly brought the book of John to life. I felt like I was a spectator for this account of Jesus' life. I gained so much understanding and felt a renewal in my Spirit through my time spent in this book. (I went through it slowly and of over about 4 months)
