Description
Is it really possible to accept Jesus' invitation and become a friend of God? To know God is one of humanity's deepest desires - but how can it happen?
Called to Be Friends is the result of exciting new research that unlocks the pattern of the Gospel of John to answer these questions. Ian Galloway reveals that John was written as a literary 'temple' that invites the reader inside to meet the person of Jesus. It is constructed as an elegant sequence of narrative panels, each with a section of the Old Testament written in underneath, to create a biblically rich space where the reader can encounter Jesus.
The author's narrative analysis breaks new ground, but Called to Be Friends is written for everyone, and unlocks this beloved Gospel in a fresh and accessible way.
