“But if you will listen, I say to you, love your enemies and do something wonderful for them in return for their hatred. When someone curses you, bless that person in return.”
Luke 6:27-2
“Stretch out your hand of power through us to heal, and to move in signs and wonders by the name of your holy Son, Jesus!”
Acts 4:30
Overview
The book of Luke is a glorious gospel penned by one of Jesus’ early followers. It has been described as the loveliest book ever written giving us a vivid picture of Jesus’ life and ministry. Luke was extremely diligent in all he wrote, ensuring that what we read is factual and accurate.
The gospel of Luke is the most compassionate, love-filled account of Jesus’ life! Luke provides us with rich details of Jesus’ love of children, the forsaken, and ministry to women even though this was controversial in his day. Luke shares Jesus’ teachings on prayer, forgiveness, and our obligation to demonstrate mercy and grace when dealing with others. The book of Luke is still read today by the lovers of God because it is the “mercy gospel,” and everyone needs mercy.
The Book of Acts, also written by Luke, continues telling the story where the book of Luke leaves off. It provides us with the startling details of the birth of the church and the early years of the expansion of the kingdom of God on earth. It begins in the upper room with 120 disciples and explains the explosive outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Acts provides us with the story of Paul’s three missionary journeys, illustrating the spread of the gospel, addition of new believers, miraculous answers to prayer, and powerful signs and wonders. Removing the supernatural activity of God from the book of Acts is futile.
Through The Passion Translation of this inspired account of church history, your soul will be awakened with transforming power as you encounter God’s heart, giving you courage to be a witness for Christ wherever he sends you!

"The Word of God is our collective and yet deeply personal love letter from above. It positions you and me within proven, godly wisdom and gives precious insight into the heart, nature, and goodness of God. I have loved the individual books published thus far from The Passion Translation®, and look forward with great anticipation to adding the entire New Testament with Psalms, Proverbs, and Song of Songs to my own private (and public) reading. With my husband, Brian, and our Hillsong church family, we know these pages will bring to life the One whose name is Jesus—whose passion is humanity and whose heart is for you."

"Forged many years ago while translating the Scriptures among South American tribes, and hammered out on the anvil of decades of personal devotion and apostolic experience, my dear friend Brian Simmons brings to the earth a powerful and refreshing translation of the Scriptures that is fueling and inflaming the hearts of tens of thousands world wide. Like the Living Bible that sprung forth in the days of the Jesus Movement, this translation bursts forth from the womb of this present revival. Read it and get caught up in a God-swirl of spiritual understanding and revelation."

"Over the past few years, The Passion Translation® has deeply changed my life. In the summer of 2016 I brought “Letters From Heaven” including Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Collisions, and I & II Timothy on vacation with me to read in the early hours of morning before my children woke up. Little did I know how eye opening this translation would be. I found myself weeping in the midst of revelation and then laughing at the goodness and profound nature of God’s love for us. I not only saw the word of God with fresh lenses, but with a depth I’ve never experienced. I cannot encourage you enough to dig into The Passion Translation."

"I love the Bible. I own dozens of translations and hundreds of commentaries to immerse myself in the language and the context of the biblical narrative to see how the Living Word of God impacts culture and the love of God transforms lives. It has been amazing to witness how The Passion Translation® has awakened a new love for the Word of God in so many lives, and how for me personally it has given greater depth to the things I had previously explored. I know that I am benefiting in such a profound way from hundreds of hours of someone else’s journey by opening these pages. It allows individuals to dive right into an encounter with Jesus regardless of their previous experience with the Bible or church. In plain language it opens the doors for a post-Christian culture to hear the Word of God with fresh language that speaks directly to who they are and where they are at, and reveals to them beauty of the gospel and they’re desperate need for Jesus. Thank you Brian Simmons and the whole team at The Passion Translation for partnering with the Holy Spirit in such a tremendous and necessary project."

"Having studied New Testament in Germany on a Fulbright Scholarship, I grew to marvel at the pithiness of Martin Luther’s translation (1534) of the Bible into German. Unfortunately, it made me disappointed every time I opened an English translation of the Scriptures. Just didn’t have the same “bite” and passion of Luther. I’ve been following The Passion Translation® as each book of the Bible has been published, and finally I’ve found something that rivals the work of the great reformer. The Bible is an edgy book, and TPT returns that sword of the Word of God back to its razor-sharp edge and shine."
