Jesus Christ lived an epic life, yet reading about him can be an epic challenge.

But what if the stories of Jesus from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were all combined into one story instead of four? And what if the stories were arranged in the order they happened? And what if they were translated into spoken American English? (Really!) And what if it read like a modern novel? What if we got rid of all those columns, and numbers, and references, and other people’s notes?

Now we are talking Epic!

At last…the life of Jesus for anyone wanting to enjoy reading an Epic story (without dozing) and answer the question millions have asked…”Who is this man?”

Part of the appeal of Epic is its neutrality outside the Gospel accounts. The authors intentionally created this work and translation without surrounding commentary or opinion so that the life of Jesus can stand on its own. This will make it a great literary choice for schools and others who wish to read about Jesus without others including what they should believe or do with the story.

The authors left out no detail from any gospel. This created quite the challenge to harmonize and synthesize every account. The Kindle version is a color version. It assigns each gospel a color: Matthew/Blue, Mark/Red, Luke/Green, John/Purple. In this way, the reader is able to identify what each gospel author uniquely contributes to each story. Black print indicates that two or more authors wrote the same thing. This makes Epic a great tool for study.

A table is included as an appendix for easy reference for all four gospels, and it is hypertexted in the Kindle version. Check out more at bradandjayme.com and nelsongriceart.com
