"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.
