Praise for the Series

"Ramsey has written a narrative that captures the life of Jesus so vividly, at times you'll wonder if he sat down and spoke with all the people involved in the story."

—Trillia Newbell, author of United

"This book throws open the curtains on Jesus and invites us to taste and see the only love that is better than life. This isn't a great book just for the season of Lent, but for every season of life."

—Scotty Smith, teacher in residence, West End Community Church, Nashville, Tennessee

"Russ Ramsey has that rare gift—the ability to animate the imagination. May you and yours take up this book, read it, and be renewed."

—Scott Sauls, author of Jesus Outside the Lines

"What better way to prepare our hearts for Christmas than to do what Russ has done so well in The Advent of the Lamb of God—rehearse the magnificent story that begins centuries before, the magnificent story woven through all of the Bible. The story of how God loves his children and has come to rescue them."

—Sally Lloyd-Jones, author of The Jesus Storybook Bible

"At first I was skeptical of Russ's Retelling the Story series: A narrative account of the gospels? Aren't they already narrative? Within pages, though, I was in tears—Jesus is honest, compassionate, and attractive. This series not only built my own faith but also has quickly become a gift for my curious friends."

—Bethany Jenkins, vice president of Forums and content for the Veritas Forum
