The Saga features: -A powerful, dynamic translation of the four gospels directly from the Greek -Parallel passages in the gospels blended into one streamlined narrative that includes every word in all the passages, while eliminating any repetition -The words "I command you" highlight all of Jesus' imperatives, to make His commands as plain to today's readers as they were to His original disciples -Passages in the Old and New Testaments outside the four gospels incorporated to present every word and deed of Jesus recorded in Scripture The freshness of The Saga translation will allow you to see Jesus in all of His glory, in a way that will cause you to know Him, love Him, and become more like Him. "The Jesus of the gospels comes alive with fresh power as one reads through The Saga in the order the events actually occurred, using Wright's translation and arrangement of the eyewitness accounts of the apostles. If I were to choose one word to describe The Saga, it would be 'inspiring.'" --Mark Edlund, DMin, Executive Director, Colorado Baptist Convention John Wright is the director of "According to Jesus" (ATJ) Ministries. A missionary, church planter, pastor, and seminary teacher of biblical Greek, Wright earned his MDiv in Theology degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

"ONE THING: The Goal of Discipleship--According to Jesus" is a life-changing study of Jesus' single comprehensive purpose for each disciple, why it is important, and how he works in and through us to accomplish it. Jesus clearly stated his goal in three major teaching sessions during his ministry. The apostle Paul, and sisters Mary and Martha illustrate the consequences of either pursuing, or being distracted from Jesus' goal for us. Written in an insightful, straightforward style by a seasoned pastor, seminary and Bible teacher, this book establishes the foundation for a lifetime of joyful and fruitful discipleship in following Jesus. Like all the books in the "Jesus Discipleship Boot Camp" series, this publication focuses on what Jesus himself said regarding the topic, by comprehensively surveying everything Jesus taught about his goal in the chronological order he spoke it, for maximum clarity and understanding. Since everything Jesus says and does in our lives is designed to accomplish his goal, this book is crucial for serious followers of Jesus. Aligning ourselves with Jesus' goal insures that we will experience the abundant quality of live that he has prepared for us in our journey into his likeness.
