John's Story
Tim LaHaye & Jerry B. Jenkins · 2006
75/100
👍 Worth It
LaHaye and Jenkins bring real craft here — a first-person apostle John narrating his own gospel, grounded first-century detail, and the actual Gospel of John included as an appendix so you can check the fiction against scripture. It debuted in the NYT top 10 and reads as much like a devotional companion as a novel. The strongest, most substantial pick in this batch.
