Matthew: Our Loving King (The Passion Translation) Paperback – January 15, 2015

I love, love, love, love the Passion Translation. As a teacher and pastor I have been studying the Word of God for nearly 25 years and this translation was like a breath of fresh of air to my soul. The love of Jesus fills every page and it ignite a fire of love and passion in your heart as you read it. Also, the information about the Aramaic and history draws you in and wants you to dive in even deeper.

Incredibly deep and accurate translation to step in to the heart of the Father! My ultimate favorite! The Passion translation will add layers of meaning to every understanding you have! This will speak directly to your spirit. If you want to pull out bountiful depth from scripture, are looking for a Matthew that finally comes alive, or just want easy reading....I recommend this highly. And Dr. Simmons is respected, theologically trained, and has served tirelessly for many years as a Wycliff translator.

Stunning. Captures the heart of God like nothing else I've read in translations of the Word of God! This translation in this Gospel gives me such a clearer picture of God, our eternal King. IN this Gospel I see Jesus as the eternal King, greater than Moses, the fulfillment of the Law. I am so thankful for Dr. Simmons work of excellence with the Hebrew, Greek, and the Aramaic. I would never have been introduced to the Aramaic if it had not been for the Passion Translation!!

I love the study that has gone into this translation. I have longed for a Bible that conveyed the heart of what God has for us. This translation fulfills and satisfies my desire to know Him more by giving me far greater understanding and experience of His love for each one of us. I am loving reading it and all the footnotes which are full of revelation. Thank you so much for this treasure of God's word.

Mr. Simmons translations are powerful and vivid. His translations are as near accurate as the Greek New Testament that I've read in my rudimentary Greek. My heart engages totally with the written word. I read small portions at a time to savor the words.

The Passion Translation hands down is my favorite Bible translation. The scriptures come alive with depth and feeling. You feel the love of Abba God dripping off the pages and into your heart! You Will be moved by the "Passion" of this translation! I love the honesty of the translator, he provides copious notes regarding the translation. Try one and you will get them all. Do not miss out on getting Song of Songs or the Psalms!

I love TPT. It was so eloquently written and the footnotes, the footnotes gave such depth and understanding to parts I’d never known. It helped me and others within the Bible study so deeper. 😊

This refreshing book of Matthew is waking me up to where I have missed out on life in God. I'm seeing God's heart for me to be fully alive, as I read the beatitudes, the Lord's prayer, and other passages in this translation. I thank God for everyone who worked to make this available!

The Passion Translation of The Bible is not available yet as the whole Bible they are being released as single books of the Bible Matthew, John, Song of Songs, Proverbs, Psalms, or little sets of books Hebrews and Timothy; Galations Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians; Luke and Acts. They are absolutely amazing, this translation has so caught the heart of God and his love for us, it is loaded with revelation and the footnotes are also highly revelatory. I have bought all of them over the past three months, and have read them all and am reading them again, because they are loaded and so impactful that you cannot take it all in on one reading. We know the Bible is living and active and sharper than a double edged sword, we know all scripture is God breathed, this is the fresh breath of God for this season, buy them and let God reveal more of himself to you through his wonderful Word.

Love all of Brian's translations... can't wait for the book of Isaiah

I'm going through all of the translation and so far I'm impressed. Well worth reading

Easy to read and understand. Truly inspired bythr Holy Spirit
