As followers of Jesus, our mission is to introduce Him to millions of people worldwide. I Am Jesus: My Story in My Own Words is a companion to the Bible and is neither a paraphrase or a translation. It is simply written as a first-person account - Jesus Himself, the Son of God, sharing His story of His walk on earth as the perfect man.
Jesus' sermons, His miracles, and His example take on new meaning and become personal as step by step, day by day, Jesus relates His story in such a personal way that the reader is transported back to the day and locale of Jesus' walk on earth. A selection of well-chosen, well-placed, photos, enhance the message of the text and strengthen the remarkable word pictures and action of the narrative.
A unique format feature is the inclusion of brief highlights, or Jesus commentary statements, which refer directly to Biblical truths found in other passages of the scriptures. These are depicted as quoted by Jesus to reinforce a promise, to challenge a specific action, or to provide additional insight.
Dr. Lee Fredrickson, career publisher and founder of 21st Century Press, in edited this companion to the Bible. Endorsements by well-known pastors and Christian educators describe the book with words and phrases including: "heart-stirring," "life-changing," and "amazing."
Listen to Jesus in His own words...
Sit down with Me and let Me tell you My story? I will tell you how I was born and grew up, how My life changed those I touched through My miracles, healing, and sermons? I would love to tell you about My death and why that matters to you. I promise you My story will change your life forever.
My only motivation in you reading this book is for you to learn how much I love and care about you right where you are. Life is full of challenges, and what you can learn from My life can make a lasting difference in you and those you love.
Reading this book, I Am Jesus, is like listening to Me talk to you. It is not dull or over your head. It's merely Me telling you My story and why it is relevant to you. I promise it will be worth your time and investment.
As you read My story, you will find #Jesus-moments that will help you with your walk in life.
#WalkWithMe.-There will be times when you won't know which way to turn. I will shine a light in your soul, so you will know the plan I have for you. Come walk with Me, and I will show you where to go. With My light, you will see dangers on the path as well as safe places when you need protection.
My ministry on earth began 2,000 years ago in the country of Israel.

What Leaders Are Saying
As I read the amazing text, I realized that this book "breaks through the barriers" of the way it has always been. I think I could actually hear the Master speaking and almost feel His joy and His pain. While reading I Am Jesus I was reminded of the first time I ever heard the song, "Rise Again" by Dallas Holm. Back then I remember thinking, "Can we really sing a song where Jesus is speaking in the first person?" The resounding answer was "Yes! Absolutely!"
This amazing, heart-stirring look at the Savior's life through His own eyes and in His own words is enthralling!
