This short devotional is based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Dialogue and historical context is taken from the Harper Collins Study Bible and the Archaelogical Study Bible. Learn about John's history from his birth to his imprisonment and the introduction of Christ at the river Jordan through his temptation in the wilderness. The story adds details, putting you in the setting with the characters without altering their purpose or their message. Biblical study is often slowed by the thick prose of the Bible. This devotion interprets the action and dialogue in narrative form easily read and understood giving an individual the foundation to read deeper into the gospels. The Voice in the Wilderness will be the first installment in a series of chronological devotionals following the life of Christ.
