One of the greatest things to happen with Bible
translation in my lifetime.

Brian Simmons' work is truly breathtaking! We so appreciate the
labor of love that went into translating the Scriptures. The
Passion Translation has energized our study of the Bible, and
we're certain it will do the same for you.

The Passion Translation makes powerful truths more accessible and
at the same time stirs our inner man to rejoice and receive.

I believe The Passion Translation will be the Bible of choice
for the next Jesus people movement.

The Word of God is our collective and yet deeply personal love
letter from above. It positions you and me within proven, godly
wisdom and gives precious in into the heart, nature, and
goodness of God. I have loved the individual books published thus
far from The Passion Translation, and look forward with great
anticipation to adding the entire New Testament with Psalms,
Proverbs, and Song of Songs to my own private (and public)
reading. With my husband, Brian, and our Hillsong church family,
we know these pages will bring to life the One whose name is
Jesus whose passion is humanity and whose heart is for you.

The Passion Translation skillfully penned by Dr. Brian Simmons
contains deep treasures that can only be discovered through
intense scholarly research saturated in Divine Revelation. Dr.
Brian Simmons fulfilled both of these criteria so he could
present to you this glorious gift. Keys to knowing the heart of
God and His deep love for His people will fill you as you read
and meditate on the scriptures. I personally cannot get enough of
this translation! It is beyond beautiful!

I have devoured The Passion Translation! There is a fragrance of
God's Spirit that emanates from the powerful expressions that
Brian Simmons has brought forth in this translation. Not only
have I used The Passion Translation for teaching, but I have
picked up certain books of the Bible and read them like a living
novel. I love this translation!

President, Glory of Zion Intl.
With the Mind of a Scholar and Heart of a Lover, Brian Simmons
combines the best of both worlds for us in his devoted
translation work in Letters from Heaven. What a marvelous job my
friend and seasoned leader is doing for the Body of Christ! I
applaud the life and ministry of Dr. Brian Simmons!
- Dr. James W. Goll
The Passion Translation is a refreshing, dynamic version of the
ancient Scriptures. Most translations of the Bible communicate
what God has said, but The Passion Translation communicates
equally God's heart behind the words. It is a beautiful, moving
read.

Over the past few years, The Passion Translation has deeply
changed my life. In the summer of 2016 I brought Letters From
Heaven including Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians,
and I & II Timothy on vacation with me to read in the early hours
of morning before my children woke up. Little did I know how eye
opening this translation would be. I found myself weeping in the
midst of revelation and then laughing at the goodness and
profound nature of God's love for us. I not only saw the word of
God with fresh lenses, but with a depth I've never experienced. I
cannot encourage you enough to dig into The Passion Translation.

Forged many years ago while translating the Scriptures among
South American tribes, and hammered out on the anvil of decades
of personal devotion and apostolic experience, my dear friend
Brian Simmons brings to the earth a powerful and refreshing
translation of the Scriptures that is fueling and inflaming the
hearts of tens of thousands world wide. Like the Living Bible
that sprung forth in the days of the Jesus Movement, this
translation bursts forth from the womb of this present revival.
Read it and get caught up in a God-swirl of spiritual
understanding and revelation.
