Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Witness of the Gospels (Volume 2)

This volume is the second in a four-part series that uses the New Testament's Gospel accounts--supplemented with other scriptures and sources--to explore Jesus's life. This second volume primarily focuses on Jesus's Galilean ministry, including the Sermon on the Mount, the Transfiguration, and His final counsel to the Apostles in Capernaum regarding humility and faith.

The volume is a witness of Jesus as the divine Son of God. As a witness, this volume invites all to come unto Christ with their burdens and challenges in order to find peace in their lives.

This volume is an ideal resource for individual in-depth study of Jesus Christ, including His ministry, teachings, and miracles. This volume, as well as the others in the series, can also be used as a springboard for inspiring family discussions about the Savior of the world.
