Praise for this book

"It gives me great pleasure to endorse the life and writing of Russ Ramsey. We have been in the trenches together caring for the 'called out ones.' Russ gave us gospel immersion and fruits of deep care with The Advent of the Lamb of God. He continues this life-giving pattern of grace and service with this new, beautifully written book pointing to the Hero King Jesus."--Charlie Peacock, coexecutive director at Art House America, TV producer, and record producer for Switchfoot and the Civil Wars

"This book throws open the curtains on Jesus and invites us to taste and see the only love that is better than life. This isn't a great book just for the season of Lent, but for every season of life."--Scotty Smith, teacher in residence, West End Community Church, Nashville, Tennessee

"Ramsey has written a captivating narrative of the life of Jesus in a biographical style that captures the life of Jesus so vividly, at times you'll wonder if Ramsey sat down and spoke with all the people involved in the story. It's the story of a real man who walked this earth and died on a cross bearing the wrath we deserve. Historical and faithful to Scripture, The Passion of the King of Glory is a wonderful Bible-reading companion for the Lenten season."--Trillia Newbell, author of United and God's Very Good Idea

"Russ Ramsey's Retelling the Stories is a worthy addition to the tradition of scriptural retellings, such as Eugene Peterson's The Message and Sally Lloyd-Jones's The Jesus Storybook Bible. . . . The three installments of the Retelling the Stories series are beautifully written and easy to read without being condescending, simplistic, or taking too many liberties. As a commentary engages the mind, Ramsey's books capture the heart. The stories here, in service to the scriptures, refreshed my soul, gave my heart joy, and lit my eyes. If Russ Ramsey's goal is to help his readers understand scripture better and to have their 'eyes open to the beauty of mercy and grace, ' he succeeds."--Tommy Welty, Fathom Magazine, July 11, 2018
