Reviews

"I have greatly enjoyed reading your paraphrase of the NT. Congratulations on such an excellent job...It reads smoothly and provides a very true but accessible version of the text. The quality of the English is...superb and the meaning of the passages picked up very well...This should have a very useful ministry...It will be of great benefit to many. You have a superb skill in expanding the Scripture, just enough, so helpfully." - Derek Tidball, former Principal, London School of Theology; Visiting Scholar, Spurgeon's College, London.

"This expanded version draws out the meaning as well as accurately reflecting the text itself. I like the idea of setting the text apart in the italic typestyle you use." - Doug Connelly, pastor, author of the LifeGuide Bible Studies

"I think this version of John's Gospel is excellent. I'm very comfortable with the interpretative approach that's been taken in the italics, which really enhances readers' understanding, while avoiding any discernible (inappropriate) cultural or theological bias. Well done!" - Steven Burnhope, Pastor, Aylesbury Vinyard Church.
