What exactly is the book?
The Life and Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth is a “gospel harmony” – a compilation of the gospels presented in chronological order. It was written in an easy-to-read translation developed in partnership with Bible League International. It presents a readable and accessible account of the four gospels.
Why is this book important?
The Life and Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth is more than just a book—it’s a life-changing resource for outreach and transformation. Designed to be readable and accessible, it has become a powerful tool in reaching hearts and lives across diverse communities.
This gospel harmony has been instrumental in prison ministries, offering hope and redemption to those searching for a fresh start. It’s connecting with the unchurched and those who have never opened a Bible, introducing them to the life of Jesus in a way that feels approachable. Even young people are engaging with the message, finding answers to life’s big questions in its pages.
From prisons to neighborhoods, and from seekers to skeptics, this book is helping to plant seeds of faith and change lives—one reader at a time.

How you’re making An impact
“I love this book! I have shared it with over 100 people and just ordered more. We give them to everyone we possibly can. We will be distributing them in Harrisburg at the State Capital. I can’t wait to see the results! Thank you for what you do, it’s a life changer.”
“I put this book in the “kits” I keep in my car to give away to homeless/beggars on the street corners. The bag has a McD’s gift card, snacks, breath mints, cough drops and most importantly this book!! Thank you so much for making these so economical.”
“Giving these bibles to people that are hungry for truth, has been so rewarding. The word is presented in a smart, leather coat, that has been almost easier to give, than tracts. They have never, yet, been refused! Thank you and God Bless this ministry!”
This little book has changed my relationship with Jesus. I didn’t grow up Christian or in the church, so much of scripture is new to me and has been hard to study. After reading The Life and Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth I feel like I know and understand Him better.
Thank you so much for these books! I read it multiple times a day. I am on my third time through. I have it marked up with notes and have made my own reference lists in the back to quick reference the passages that I lean on for support. This does not replace my bible reading, it supplements it wonderfully!
I’m a student, and you wonderful people gifted me a box of Bibles right before my 8th grade year. I took those Bibles and began filling my backpack, bringing them to school and asking everyone in sight if they would like a Bible. I’m proud to say that God’s word reached so many of the kids inside my school!
