The story of Jesus Christ is the most remarkable story ever told. Whether you are a new Christian or a seasoned Christian, reading the 4 gospels in the New Testament is something that never grows old. There is so much to glean from God's Word. In The Jesus Story - Everything that Happens in the New Testament in Plain English, Dr. William H. Marty tells the story of Jesus in an easy to read chronological account. It is very easy to understand and would be great for someone who is just learning about the Lord. However, I do feel that for older Christians it may not capture their attention as well. I found it a little "hum-drum" at times and I would much rather read the accounts straight from the Bible. I do think that new Christians and those who are not familiar with The Word of God might benefit from this book, but I would still encourage those same people to pick up The Bible and read the stories straight from the source.
I did like how the stories are biblically accurate and did not sway from the truth. The author truly has just taken the accounts, put them in order and wrote it in plain English. I think it would be a great gift idea along with a Bible for a new Christian or for someone that you are trying to win to Christ.
