About the Author

In 1965 Pastor Chuck Smith started his ministry at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. Beginning with a mere 25 people, he saw God bless his simple, yet consistent style of teaching straight through the Bible. Today Calvary Chapel draws over 20,000 attendees weekly. With a genuine heart for the lost, Pastor Chuck made room in his ministry for a generation of hippies, surfers, and drug addicts. This generated a stirring of the Holy Spirit which spread from the California coast to the Atlantic and beyond. This movement was instrumental in bringing thousands of young people to Jesus Christ during the 60s and 70s in what was known as the Jesus People Movement. As God expanded his ministry, Pastor Chuck s visionary leadership saw the birth of other ministries such as: The Word for Today, a publishing/radio broadcasting ministry which is heard worldwide; Calvary Distribution, a wholesale Christian book and resource distributor; and Calvary Chapel Outreach Fellowship, an international organization with over 1,500 Calvary Chapels participating. A noted speaker and the author of over 25 books, Pastor Chuck can be heard daily on television, radio, and webcasts throughout the world

This review is from: The Gospel of John Gift Book (Hardcover)

What a great gift idea for the artistically-inclined and the spiritually-thirsty! If you know someone who's one or the other, or both, this book presents the life of Jesus as paraphrased by Chuck Smith and illustrated by the late (world-renowned artist) Rick Griffin. Speaks volumes!

This book is absolutely beautiful. Rick's illustrations have such detail you can see something new in each picture every time you open the book. The paraphrasing by Chuck makes it easy to read and understand the gospel of John. This makes a wonderful gift, especially to those who remember this time in our culture.

This review is from: The Gospel of John Gift Book (Hardcover)

The gospel of John is written in pastor Chuck Smith's paraphrase with really cool illustrations. Some of these pictures have so much meaning behind them. Lots of detail went into the artwork. I would want this if I were you...hehe...seriously I would.
