What Readers Say
The Good News Novel is a comprehensive and easy-to-read book, yet profound and true to Scripture. It meant a lot to me personally. It is to me in literature what the Jesus film is to cinema, only much more meaningful and significant.
Prof Pieter Verster, author and emeritus head of Missiology at the University of the Free State, SA.

This book is a captivating story...
that, because of its simple, heartfelt retelling, at some points, literally made me cry, deeply feeling His presence. The chapter Investigating Jesus was filled with amazing pieces of information and is so powerful. Talk about ending with a bang!

A story of compassion, of kindness, grace and mercy, of love, justice and sacrifice. Of a God involved in the world.

Reading it as an accurate novel approach captivated me, and I felt the Spirit speak through the text. I discovered so many new insights and new treasures. It can be read as one great story or as a daily devotional. Great pictures!

Preface
In 1966, the American Bible Society published a translation of the New Testament called the Good News for Modern Man. It was based on the latest translation science of Dynamic Equivalence, to express the message and meaning that the original authors tried to convey in as easy-to-understand modern everyday language. It used scientific analysis to present a "thought for thought" rather than "word for word" translation.
It was a bestseller at the time and topped the New York Times paperback list with circulation exceeding 25 million copies.
It was endorsed by various Christian denominations, including the Catholic Church, the Southern Baptist Convention, the Presbyterian Church of America, etc. and was used in the Billy Graham crusades and many others.
Now the Good News Novel has been made available to the modern-day reader, based on the best translations of the Bible, with the same goals, but as a gripping, page-turning story, faithful to Scripture and with sound theology, bringing out the deep treasures of the Bible in a heartwarming account of the greatest story that truly ever happened.
