"What does it look like to 'walk in the light, as he is in the light, ' to truly live as a follower of Christ? This all-important question finds its answer in three letters from the apostle John. Marked by their sermonic tone, devotional fervor, and emphasis on obedience to God's commands, 1, 2, and 3 John lovingly teach us how to follow Jesus in open devotion to God."--Publisher's description.
