John's Story: The Last Eyewitness: The Jesus Chronicles Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I was really looking forward to this one. I have to say though, I tend to not like when people suppose around sacred characters. I was happy about the use of actual Bible facts in the book, but their simply was not enough of them. I thought it would be more scholarly than it is. Having said that, I totally see a very valid purpose in the book, bringing anyone closer to the scriptures is great!!! If this is a tool by which to bring people closer to Christ, awesome. If you are a scripture schholar of sorts, pass it on. "

" Find the story telling good. Unfortunately there is some bias that is based on the authors fundamentalist theology. However, truly did enjoy it and did find some new perspectives on this Apostle, though know this was historical fiction. "

" New perspective, helps with chronology and history. "

" I have started and restarted this book 3 times !! While it is good just alil slow and alot of big words lol "

" Great novel story of the Books of John. Scripture is included so you can cross reference. It flows and really gives you a full picture of what it might have been like being there. "

" Very disappointed in these authors. It was mostly just reading from the Bible...very little other plot. "

" A eye opening book to what was going on with John at the time he wrote his gospel, and the book of Revelation. Very good and easy to read. "

" I wasn't sure about this book at first. It was hard for me to grasp, but WOW! the more I got into it....one word - Powerful! "

" This is the story of John the Beloved told in a way that that really brings his life and what it must have been like into perspective, to know what it was like during the time of Christ and what it must have been like to be the last living disciple os Christ. "

" Very slow reading but a good book. "

" I was very disappointed in this book. I thought it would be more about John's like. It was about John writing his gospel. Maybe a new Christian might appreciate it more. "

" Interesting fiction of John the Beloved and only disciple of Jesus' that died a natural death of old age. Not quite the authors as Gerald Lund, but not bad. "

" Really brought the Book of John and revelation to life for me! "

" Great Christian fiction. A fun read. "

" It was an interesting idea. I did learn things about Polycarp, but as for John, I would have rather read the Bible. This book just rewrote it and then quoted it in the end. I perferred the source not the fiction. "

" Really enjoyed these books - helped me to see the New Testament in such a much clearer, more personal light! "

" Another great book that makes the scriptures come alive as they weave the story of John's perspective of the events he witnessed. "

" Like many others, not at all what I expected. Thought it would be more "biographical". "

" I really enjoyed this as it gave some real insight into the circumstances under which John wrote the books of Revelation and I,II,& III John. Definitely recommend to anyone interested in learning more about the Apostle John. "

" really did a good job of portraying the life and times of Jesus and John "

" I like how it gives a "first-hand" experience of the gospel being written. Very well written & a great read. "

" Great stuff here on the Beloved Disciple. Loved the burning in oil scene and others. "

" I wanted to like this book, and I did, at least most of it. About halfway through it bogged down, and got really wordy. "

" Wonderfully informative. Keeps you interested! "

" Great book - very interesting concept, using biblical text along with fictional text to tell a historical fictional account. I had to get a hold of Mark and Luke's story and now waiting on Matthew's story. I can't wait! "

" Enjoyed reading this account of the life of John. "

" Another great book that makes the scriptures come alive as they weave the story of John's perspective of the events he witnessed. "

" Too much like a Bible commentary in narrative form; the characters lack depth and personality. "
