There are certain resources that you have to keep close at hand. There are certain resources that you simply use a lot.

One Perfect Life is one of those resources.

One Perfect Life is a harmony of the four gospels. Where most harmonies use a column format, showing the events and occurrences of each of the four gospels in separate columns, One Perfect Life has blended the four gospels into one continuous story.

This is immensely helpful, especially as you read through the gospels, and allows you to see just how the life and ministry of Jesus unfolded.

Included in One Perfect Life are a harmony of study notes from the John MacArthur Study Bible. I’ve been using this Bible for the past couple of years and have found these notes to be amazingly helpful.

Not only does One Perfect Life contain the life and ministry of Jesus, it also bookends the life of Christ with several key passages that anticipate the Messiah, as well as reflections from the rest of the New Testament that further reveal God’s purposes in Christ.

This book will be a tool that I keep handy as I study and teach the gospel in my ministry. In fact, I’ve already found it to be incredibly helpful in just the few short days I’ve had it.

I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of One Perfect Life and read it. It will help you understand the flow and order of Christ’s life and ministry more fully, both for yourself and for those you may teach.
