We've Got Mail: The New Testament Letters in Modern English

This new paraphrase is like a Readers Digest version of the New Testament letters capturing the original writers essential meaning in 21st Century language - easy to read and understand. Without chapters or verses notes references cross references theological or denominational slants these letters flow much as they did when written nearly 2000 years ago. Readers will be encouraged perhaps even amazed at just how practical timeless relevant and alive these letters really are. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an introductory overview of the New Testament epistles. Rev. Biebels masterful paraphrase brings the New Testament Letters to life for those who usually avoid the formal theological phraseology of many of the popular Bible translations. I applaud my fellow physicians who place Bibles in their waiting rooms and would recommend a volume of Weve God Mail as an additional consideration for patients in that setting. A person under the stress of medical or other concerns is likely to relate to and be comforted by this easy to read and understandable work. Its balance of scriptural accuracy and literary clarity is outstanding. I highly recommend this publication. - Jim Dill MD [Co-author of 70 Ways to Beat 70] Weve Got Mail is a wonderfully fresh and appealing read that ministered to me personally during a time of severe testing. The authors loving and accurate paraphrasing of Gods Word reflects a heart and mind matured from 40 years of pastoral experience. The books clarity and contemporary language is especially relevant for high school/college students new Christians and adults examining Christianity. You will enjoy receiving mail that has eternal consequences. -Robert W. Martin III MD MAR [Physician Christian Apologist and Seminary Faculty] Warren Biebels pastoral interpretation of the New Testament letters is a highly readable and enjoyable re-write of a large portion of the New Testament. Biebel makes it clear that while his work is not a word-for-word translation of these letters he tries to stay true to the apparent meaning of the text. He has done a good job of making some difficult passages more readable and the delight that comes from reading this book increases ones desire to understand and apply the principles and doctrines about which the authors wrote. My hope is that this work will take its place as a strong paraphrase-among such greats as Living Letters and The Message. - David Wickstrom PhD
