Relevant stories and personal applications add to the refreshing insights presented in the seven parts and seven sections of this study of John’s narrative..
The number seven is significant in science and history as well as in the Bible. When a science educator applies the lens of seven onto the gospel of John, intriguing patterns emerge. Author Sinikka Smothers says, “God has a purposeful design for every area of His creation—including the use of numbers. God loves numbers, especially the number seven. He used mathematical algorithms to construct the matrix we call our universe. Mathematics is God’s language of creation.”
Discover refreshing insights into the life of Christ through this study of seven themes embedded in John’s gospel narrative. The author presents John’s message in seven parts, each one divided into seven sections. Revisit the familiar seven “I AM” statements of Jesus and other sevens that are not widely written about:
Seven signs and miracles Jesus performed
Seven witnesses that testify of Jesus
Seven ministries of the Holy Spirit
Seven life-changing conversations of Jesus
Seven women
Seven questions Pilate asked Jesus
This unique commentary includes rich historical details and paints a vivid portrait of Jesus the Son of God as Master, Savior, and Friend. Relevant stories and personal applications bring the familiar accounts of the book of John to contemporary contexts.

I appreciate the author’s connection between personal, historical, and Biblical texts and references. She connects dots that I had not previously connected, not only in John, but throughout the gospels with a unique perspective. The book is a great reference tool for a small group study that be expanded on many themes related to the sevens throughout the Bible.

I am a math teacher, so the use and significance of the number seven in the book intrigued me. But, the book was so much more than a “numerology” book. The way the author weaves the stories of Jesus in John with the number seven is amazing. The descriptions the author uses about Jesus and His events make you feel as you are there. The book brings Jesus to life and I felt like I was walking along with Him as I read the stories.

I had the privilege of studying this book with the author as the teacher. The book is very readable – and the personal stories are heartwarming. This was a great study!
I've been around Christian publishing since 1987 when I helped our ministry self-publish an important resource for Vietnam veterans and their families. That book went on to be picked up by a royalty publisher and has since sold over 250,000 copies with a million in print.
I'm glad you're here…stop by often and take advantage of all the information we make available.

Are you eager to write your first book? Perhaps you’ve launched one book but have an idea for a second or a third. If you’re uncertain what the next step looks like on the path from concept to completed manuscript, we can help.
Our Jumpstart! class explores subjects such as finding inspiration, sorting through ideas, how to begin, using personal examples, writing a powerful opening, avoiding writer’s block, and other useful topics. It will orient you toward publishing success.
Please join us for this friendly, informative four-week clinic, where aspiring and established writers receive warm, online professional group coaching to help them get started.
Okay, you’ve got a book underway, or your idea is at the ready. Excellent! But sometimes, as you write, you wonder, is this going any place? Am I doing this right? Maybe you have writer’s block or would like professional guidance and encouragement to help you progress through your manuscript.
We can do that!
Our six-week program consists of the coach and the author putting their heads together and taking the book from the idea, or beginning, stages, through a completed framework for the book. The coach guides the author through each week’s writing and preparation and returns the author’s submission with thorough, encouraging, and detailed notes. The following day, the coach and author meet online or by phone to discuss the week’s work, clarify anything that needs explanation, brainstorm solutions, and build the author’s confidence.
We like to make custom recommendations based on your manuscript and message, so it helps us to learn more about you and actually review the manuscript in order to come up with a publishing strategy.
