(Order direct at jesusfirstperson.com for the lowest prices!) Imagine Jesus of Nazareth telling you his story, in his own words. Jesus First-Person is a literal translation of the Gospels, but phrased in the first-person, so you can experience just that. See Christ's world from his point of view and understand what it was like to be him through this version's intimate, first-person perspective. "She wet my feet with her tears, kissed my feet, and anointed them with the perfume." Experience the Messiah speaking personally to you. Are your Bible reading times less than exciting? Jesus First-Person is an intensely emotional experience that will change you forever. How could Jesus himself, talking directly to you, be anything less? "One of my disciples, whom I loved, was at the table, leaning against my chest. He leaned back and asked me, 'Master, who is it?'" Have the face-to-face encounters you always longed for. Where do you spend time with God? See yourself there with your Lord sitting across from you, intimately sharing his life. So real you can see the expressions on his face, hear the tone of his voice, and feel his gaze. "A woman named Martha received me into her house. She had a sister called Mary, who was sitting at my feet and listening to my word." Lose yourself in the greatest drama of all time. Find yourself walking alongside Jesus and his disciples down the seashore, through villages, and into homes, watching his social interactions with surprise, gasping together at the miracles, so caught up in the story you can't put it down. "All the crowd sought to touch me, for power came out of me and healed them all." Better than a red-letter Bible, more than a daily study Bible. This book may be printed in black ink but the red-letter power behind its first-person perspective will resonate right through you. Likewise, Jesus First-Person isn't just an ideal word-for-word study Bible-its startlingly direct tone makes every chapter a riveting encounter.

About the Author :
My name is Izzy Avraham and I'm the editor of Jesus First-Person. I'm a lover and a dreamer, caught up in the romance of knowing and following Yeshua of Nazareth as closely as I can. My scholarship and life's work are an overflow of my passionate pursuit of the Messiah. ❧ I help people get closer to Yeshua through Hebrew at Holy Language Institute (holylanguage.com). I'm also involved with "the Tribe", our online community. ❧ I teach Mussar, an ancient Jewish discipline of inner work and character development, through the Mussar Center (mussar.org). For followers of Yeshua, this is a Biblical way of becoming more like him. ❧ I help people create communities of disciples making more disciples at Yeshua Groups (yeshuagroups.com), a network of groups getting together to tell the stories of Scripture and talk about them campfire-style. ❧ For the backstory to this translation visit jesusfirstperson.com.
