Four men viewed events in the life of Jesus Christ, each from his own perspective, and wrote about them. These are the gospel accounts we call Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The book of John is the only one that’s written chronologically, so the random sequences of events found in Matthew, Mark, and Luke make it difficult to get a complete and accurate picture of Jesus’ life.

Author Frank Ball, who has specialized in biblical research for more than thirty years, has organized the gospel scenes to create an accurate, chronological story that is easy to read, understand, and remember. Eyewitness: The Life of Christ Told in One Story (WinePress, 2008) is like a snapshot taken from a wide-angle lens, providing greater depth than the four Gospels read separately. Using the book of John as the chronological “skeleton,” Ball adds the “flesh” of information supplied by the other Gospels. He also includes information from other books of both the Old and New Testaments to create a compelling, fast-paced story that reads more smoothly than any Bible version.

Not a Bible, not a paraphrase, but a compilation twelve years in the making, this book developed from more than fifteen widely-used translations of Scripture. It is perfect for those who have been confused by apparent inconsistencies in the Gospels and who want a better understanding of the story with a biblically accurate perspective. According to Ball, “Because of the Bible’s maze of random thoughts, events and apparent contradictions, it’s difficult to get a clear picture of who Jesus is. To really know Jesus, you must walk with him. By putting the gospel scenes in chronological order and adding additional texts from other parts of the Bible, we fit the puzzle pieces together and finally see who Jesus is.”
