    Dr. Tim LaHaye (www.timlahaye.com), who conceived the idea of fictionalizing an account of the Rapture and the Tribulation, is a noted author, minister, and nationally recognized speaker on Bible prophecy. He is the founder of both Tim LaHaye Ministries and The PreTrib Research Center. He also recently cofounded the Tim LaHaye School of Prophecy at Liberty University. Presently Dr. LaHaye speaks at many Bible prophecy conferences in the U.S. and Canada, where his current prophecy books are very popular.

    Dr. LaHaye holds a doctor of ministry degree from Western Theological Seminary and a doctor of literature degree from Liberty University. For 25 years he pastored one of the nation's outstanding churches in San Diego, which grew to three locations. It was during that time that he founded two accredited Christian high schools, a Christian school system of ten schools, and San Diego Christian College (formerly known as Christian Heritage College).

    Dr. LaHaye has written over 50 non-fiction books and co-authored 25 fiction books, many of which have been translated into 34 languages. He has written books on a wide variety of subjects, such as family life, temperaments, and Bible prophecy. His most popular fiction works, the Left Behind series, written with Jerry B. Jenkins, continue to appear on the best-seller lists of the Christian Booksellers Association, "Publishers Weekly," the "Wall Street Journal," "USA Today," and the "New York Times."

    Another popular series by LaHaye and Jenkins is The Jesus Chronicles. This four-book fiction series gives readers a rich first century experience as John, Mark, Luke, and Matthew recount thrilling accounts of the life of Jesus. Dr. LaHaye is co-author of another fiction series, Babylon Rising. Each of the four titles in this series have debuted in the top 10 on the New York Times best seller list. These are suspense thrillers with thought-provoking messages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Opening your imagination...
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2014

I read the Left Behind series, so I was expecting a true to the Scriptures book. I was not disappointed. While we can't know everything of John the Beloved, Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins do a very good job in presenting a story that will open your own imaginings when thinking of the times John lived in, how he would have conducted himself in and through his love for our LORD, Jesus. I was especially surprised and grateful for their forethought in including John's Gospel at the end of the book. It supported their thoughts on John's life, as they wrote about it; while giving the reader (me) the Truth of his Gospel account.
I love God's Word more than anything; I love The Gospel. Even though John's Story is a fictional account, it is inspired by the authors love of Jesus and The Truth (it shows). It has helped to give me a little more depth into the character of John the Beloved in my own musings of those times. Thank you, Tim and Jerry, for loving our LORD.
(I have just began Mark's Story and look forward to Luke's and Matthew's)

Reading from the viewpoint of John was thought provoking. Wish more time was spent on his witness after he was arrested and they tried to boil him and was imprisoned. The impact of John’s faith in God and Him sparing his life had to effected many non believers as well as believers.

This telling of the Apostle John really brings his story to life.
It’s written in such a way that the reader almost feels like they too are a student of John! Highly recommend reading John's Story.

Love the way this book gives you in the first person of John, telling his story and the story of Jesus. It makes you feel like you are right there with him the whole book. Reads easy, and keeps you turning the page. I would recommend it to any believer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Retelling Revelation
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2017
Verified Purchase
Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins reunite to undertake the Jesus Chronicles, a four-book series of historical novels profiling the lives of the Gospel writers: John, Mark, Matthew, and Luke. This first installment recounts the personal and spiritual journey of the only one of the original apostles who died from old age rather than martyrdom. Robinson Dean brings an appropriately deep and sober tone to his duties as narrator, especially in his portrayal of the elderly John's exhaustive efforts to leave a written record of both his first-person experiences and prophetic visions. The authors steep their storytelling in a conservative interpretation of scripture that may not appeal evenly across the broader spectrums of Christian theology, but they provide some engaging human drama.

This first book in the series blends large excerpts from the Bible with fictional retelling of the historical setting in an attempt at bringing the book of Revelation of St. John the Divine to life. The fictional portions of the book are moderately interesting, but contained little this review didn't already know. As for the book of Revelation itself, there's very little exposition of the content. I had hoped for more from this book.

Great read. Authors used documented scripture to set stage for what might have been the life of John the Beloved Apostle. Whole series is very well done. Highly recommend. Gave me the sense that John was a real person, not just a biblical leader.

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting perception of John
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2013
Verified Purchase
To put it bluntly, I am amongst the poorest readers of books. I just do not have time to sit down and read a book. (I bought The Elephant Whisperer a long time ago and still have not read it). Too many activities in my life; D.I.Y. projects through out winter and outdoor activities all summer long.
However, I listened to a book review on PBS radio about John's Story, The Last Eyewitness and was intrigued. I read it like enjoying a great buffet meal and didn't want to get up and leave the table. Since, I have purchased this book a few times as gifts for two ministers and other friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mixing historical with fictional fill-in interesting
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2012
Verified Purchase
Book of John is my favorite of the Gospel accounts of Jesus Christ's ministry on earth. I like the mix of what is historically known about the apostle John with the fictional story to fill in and make an interesting read. Then The Gospel of John and the 3 Epistles written by John are also included at the end of the book.
Have also read the other "Jesus Chronicles" by same authors about Matthew, Mark, and Luke. I recommend all of them.
Love being able to download books to the Kindle App on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet.
