The book is pure Scripture, taken from the New American Standard Bible and formatted chronologically on the life of Jesus with a special emphasis on Him as our Passover Lamb.

The book is broken into 21 sections:

• The Appearance of John the Baptist
• The Beginnings of Jesus’ Ministry is Concurrent with the End of John the Baptist’s Ministry
• Yeshua (Jesus) is Tempted by Satan (Also known as Lucifer)
• The Call to Discipleship
• Beginning His Public Ministry in Galilee, Judea, and Samaria
• Jesus’ Galilean Ministry
• The Sovereignty of the Son
• Choosing the Twelve Disciples is Followed by the First Major Teaching
• Jesus Sends out His Twelve Disciples
• Intense Discipling of the Disciples
• Jesus’ Ministry in the Region of Judea Beyond the Jordan
• Yeshua (Jesus) Warns and Encourages His Disciples

• Count the Cost of Discipleship
• Yeshua’s (Jesus’) Final Ministry in Jerusalem
• His Passion and Death
• Other Appearance of Yeshua (Jesus) to His Disciples

I used this book in preparation for Holy Week in Idaho Falls.  The author takes the position that Jesus was crucified on a Thursday, not Friday.

I noted that with Jesus only having several days to live, this is what He emphasized in vivid color from the Old Testament:  Zechariah 9:9, Psalm 118:26, Isaiah 56:7, Jeremiah 7:11, Psalm 8:2, Isaiah 53:1, Isaiah 6:10, Isaiah 56:7, Isaiah 5:1-5, Psalm 118:22-23, Deuteronomy 25:5-6, Exodus 3:6, Deuteronomy 6:5, Leviticus 19:18, Psalm 110:1, Daniel 9:27, Isaiah 13:10, Isaiah 34:4, Psalm 41:9, Psalm 35:19, Psalm 69:4, Zechariah 13:7, Zechariah 11:12-13, Jeremiah 32:6-9, Hosea 10:8, Psalm 22:18, Isaiah 53:9, Psalm 22:8, Psalm 22:1, Psalm 31:5
