A Consolidation of the Gospels
A groundbreaking retelling of Jesus’ life, harmonizing all four Gospels into one continuous, chronological narrative.
74, raised in the church from the time I was long, not tall. The woman who taught Jr. Church when I was a child said to me when I was in my 20’s, “You are going to be the leader of the Jr. Church.” I said, “I don’t think so.” She said, “Pray about it.” So, I did. Guess what? I became the next leader of the Jr. Church. Sadly, I became saved outside the church at 19. And I was baptized in the pool of the YMCA. I am a Christian first, however, I have been a member or have attended the Methodist church, a charasmatic independent church, Friends/Quaker church, and the Baptist church. In my 30’s I was comparing six different translations and the four Gospels trying (in my own study) to come up with a common language and consolidating the Gospels into one story of the life of Jesus, I never intended to have it published. Printing my manuscript for others, someone said that I should have it published in order to leave a hard copy of my work to be left for others to appreciate. And thus, here it is, The Life of Jesus, a Consolidation of the Gospels by Mike Leach.
The Life of Jesus has quickly become a bestseller, resonating with readers around the world. Its unique approach to harmonizing the four Gospels has captured the attention of both scholars and casual readers alike. With a growing fanbase, this book continues to receive positive reviews, making it one of the most sought-after resources for studying the life of Christ.
Reading this book was like hearing the Gospels for the first time all over again. The flow of the story made Jesus’ life so real and powerful to me. A must-read for anyone who wants to deepen their walk with Christ.
Mike Leach has done the Body of Christ a great service. By consolidating the Gospels, he has created a tool that makes Scripture approachable for new believers while still offering depth for seasoned Christians.
I always struggled to keep the four Gospels straight in my head, but this book ties it all together beautifully. It’s not just a book—it’s an experience of walking with Jesus from Bethlehem to the Ascension.
