‘The Gospel of Yeshua: A Fresh Look at the Life and Teaching of Jesus’

Although The Gospel of Yeshua was published by a small local publisher in Charleston, S.C., it quickly attracted national attention, earning strong praise from both secular and mainstream religion reviewers.  Among the reviews:

“Read this book and you can discover the reason for your birth, the purpose of all life, and the hope for your future.  It has the potential of touching lives to the extent  that even the Church might be reoriented and rejuvenated.”  -The Rev. Dr. Taft Lyon, a mainstream Presbyterian minister

“The Gospel of Yeshua increased my understanding of the incredible life of Jesus in ways that have never been revealed to me before.  I have read it three times and I am still being changed and moved as I discover new insights.”  -The Rev. Debra Dowdle, United Methodist Church minister

“The Gospel of Yeshua can comfortably join similar efforts: Fulton Oursler’s Greatest Story Ever Told (1949), Frank Slaughter’s Crown and the Cross (1959), and more recently Walter Wangerin’s Book of God (1996).”  -Starred review in The American Library Association’s Booklist magazine

“Using a style reminiscent of Hemingway in relying on simplicity in story line and dialogue, Mr. Johnson has woven a rewarding fabric about Jesus … that will delight readers of all faiths and doctrines, and non-Christians as well who wish to understand Jesus as a teacher.” -Donald Mitchell, a Hall of Fame reviewer for amazon.com, who gave it 5 out of 5 stars

“In reading this book, you can steep yourself in the life and character of Jesus.  In fact, you may find some surprises.”  -Michael J. McManus, ethics and religion columnist for The New York Times’ News Service, who devoted an entire column to recommending it to his followers.
