Uncover John
The best way to uncover the truth of who Jesus is by reading one of the historical biographies of Jesus in the Bible with others. Uncover John is a beautifully-designed copy of one of these historical biographies, the Gospel of John, with questions and videos to help you read it.
We are inviting our friends to Meet Jesus by reading Uncover John with us all year and extending that invitation to all students and staff in Weeks 1-5 Semester 2.
If you don’t know who Jesus is and don’t have someone to read with, please respond to the form below and we’ll contact you about reading Uncover John! You can read it with someone one-on-one or one of the groups we will be running at 1 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays from Week 6 Semester 2.
