Publisher Description
America’s favorite inspirational novelist and #1 New York Times bestselling author paints vividly realized portraits of six of Jesus’ closest friends and companions, bringing biblical truths to life in this captivating continuation of her Life-Changing Bible Story series.
In our everyday lives, friends are the people whom we spend the most time with, go through struggles with, and who know us best. Each of Jesus’ friends—Peter, John, Matthew, Judas, Mary Magdalene, and Lazarus—traveled with Jesus and were part of His daily ministry, and each has a compelling story to tell. There were some who would question or doubt Him…and one would even betray Him. Kingsbury brings these fascinating personalities to life in ways that will not only help bring you closer to the truths found in Scripture, but also to Christ.
By combining valuable, instructive Bible study with compelling, insightful character sketches of Jesus’ companions, Kingsbury provides you with a deeper understanding of the scriptural teachings featuring these fascinating people. Emotionally powerful, thought-provoking, and soulful, The Friends of Jesus will help you to appreciate the Bible and understand how it applies to your relationships with the most important people in your life.

Just like using a Bible Commentary!
Loved Karen Kingsbury's account of "The Friends of Jesus!" Like the first book in the Life-Changing Bible Stories series "The Family of Jesus," Karen intermingles the relationships and conversations Jesus' friends had with Him. I have markings throughout this book and will certainly use it as a reference guide with my Bible studies. The scriptures Karen uses throughout the book in referencing Simon, Peter, Mary Magdalene, John, Jairus and Martha showcase a great understanding of the characters relationships. I also enjoy the questions at the end of the book for each chapter which enables you to delve further into comparing your own life to those who followed Jesus. Excited for "The Followers of Jesus" to be released in July 2016. I hope Paul will be in a future one!!!!
