About This Book

A straightforward, chronological retelling of the life of Jesus based directly on the four gospel accounts, written in plain language intended to be accessible to both children and adult readers. It follows events from birth and childhood through a public ministry of teaching, parables, and miracles, and depicts relationships with followers and opponents. The narrative carries through the arrest, trial, crucifixion, burial, resurrection, and post‑resurrection appearances. Maps, illustrations, and clearly ordered chapters accompany the text, and no fictional scenes or systematic theology are introduced, allowing the gospel material itself to guide readers’ understanding.
