A revolutionary approach to reading, studying, and living the Scriptures.

Come and See invites readers into the Gospel of John
with a calm, prayerful reverence.

Rooted in the trusted American Standard Version and thoughtfully revised into fresh, accessible language, this Contemplative Life Edition is designed not just to be read - but to be prayed with. The text unfolds in a poetic layout that slows your pace, opens space for silence, and helps the story breathe.

Throughout the pages, you'll find brief theological and pastoral notes - quiet windows that point toward meaning - along with simple prompts for reflection and meditation. Each chapter of the gospel ends with a helpful guide into lectio divina.

Written by an accomplished author of a dozen books of Christian spirituality, this fresh approach to reading and studying the Gospel of John is the first in a new series.

Whether you are hearing John's Good News for the first time or returning to it with deeper longing, this edition offers a companionable way of reading: unhurried, attentive, and open to the living presence of Christ.

Take your time. Let the words linger. Allow the Gospel to speak to you. Come and see!
