1, 2, & 3 John For You

In 1, 2, & 3 John For You, Sam Allberry invites readers into a deeper understanding of the apostle John’s letters, showing how they offer joyful certainty in our relationship with God. With clarity and warmth, Allberry unpacks John’s message, helping us see Jesus as John did—fully human, yet fully divine.

One of the book’s greatest strengths is Allberry’s ability to connect profound theological truths with everyday life. His tone is personal and pastoral, reflecting his experience as a church leader. He weaves in relevant pop culture references and illustrations without feeling forced, making the ancient text feel fresh and accessible for modern readers.

Share in Joy

This book doesn’t shy away from hard truths. It reminds us of the seriousness of sin, the necessity of obedience, and the call to radical love for one another. Yet it consistently points back to the unshakable assurance we have in God’s faithfulness to forgive and restore.

A key takeaway for me was how closely our joy in Jesus is tied to our spiritual health. Joy isn’t just a feeling—it’s a reflection of walking in truth, love, and obedience. This book is a great way to share in that joy and grow deeper in it.
