Rejuvenate your devotional life with a fresh look at Jesus. The Word Became Verse, by author/presenter Lee Venden, is a nearly verse-by-verse paraphrase of the gospel of John in poetry form. Dalene Johnson’s beautiful water-color illustrations, in combination with engaging rhythm and rhyme, prompt the reader to eagerly turn each page while deeply reflecting on the matchless charms of Jesus. Endorsed by Michael Card, this re-telling of The Story that never grows old stirs the heart with fresh love and appreciation for Jesus. Both adults and children are quickly attracted to reading or hearing the verses, making it an ideal gift to give yourself or anyone else who is interested in Him.
"“The best way to show someone your love is to listen to them. This includes God and His Word. Lee Venden has lovingly listened to John’s gospel and responded in a new form, a ‘paraversion.’ It will provide you with a new way to love and listen to John’s Gospel.” —Michael Card
This was Holy Spirit inspired! Each day Lee would pray and then be given fresh new rhyming words to fit the section he was doing from John’s chapters. I love what he was given. It touches my heart and makes the old story new and fresh! I will never forget his excitement each morning as he would share each new section with me! Thank You, Jesus for this Gift!
