A friend writes: I am ashamed to admit this but I had never read the life and teachings of Jesus. I just recently read completely through Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and it was an amazing experience! All my life I heard bits and pieces of these stories but it was second hand information for me. Now I feel like I understand Jesus from my own reading. He is much different than I thought. I am reading it over again and seeing new and amazing things. Just curious, have you ever read any the four Gospels? a natural conversation begins
