The apostle John looks back as an old man on those momentous three years with Jesus, and realises that it was all about life - real, abundant life.  With his simple fisherman's language, he describes transformational conversations, profound ideas, glimpses into eternity.  This course will have us sitting at John's feet, listening as this wise old man takes us into the very heart of Jesus and His mission.
