The Red Letter Bible
A Call to Know: The Gospel Words of Jesus for Real-Life Revival, Inner Awakening, and Jesus-Centered Transformation. The recorded words of Jesus presented through a lens of inner awakening, personal responsibility and lived experience — preserving the natural order of Scripture while providing thematic guidance.
What it does
It gathers his words, in order, and gets everything else out of the way.
The canonical red letters in the American Standard Version of 1901, in the order he spoke them, with brief bridges that keep the story whole and then step back. His words are set apart so nothing stands between you and them.
It also restores what the councils set aside: the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, printed in full, alongside a plain account of how they were lost — Nicaea, the canonization process, and the filter that kept removing the texts which elevated direct inner knowing and the authority of women.
- Three internal volumes, bound as one book: Volume 1 — Matthew & Mark; Volume 2 — Luke & John; Volume 3 — Acts, Revelation and the recovered texts
- Bridge lines before each passage, so you always know where you are standing
- Reflect prompts throughout, and a deeper reflection station at the close of every book
- The Feminine Thread: what the record actually shows, gathered in one place
- Thematic overlays: the inner chamber, the single eye, the kingdom within, the greater works
- A closing challenge, Come Up Higher, and the practice it asks you to name

How to work it
Reading it is not the point. Working it is.
Let him teach
The bridges keep you oriented. His words do the instructing. Where the book asks questions, they are questions — not conclusions.
Write one honest sentence
When you reach a line marked Reflect, stop and write. What is written down is far harder to abandon than what is only felt.
Try the inner instructions
Sit still. Shut the door of the senses. Bring one desire, with clear intent, and ask — and keep asking. See what rises.
A reflection station, as printed.
Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and ye will not come to me. It is possible to study the map forever and never make the journey. Where has reading about him replaced coming to him — and what does coming actually mean for you, tonight, with the book closed?

Integrity
Where every word came from.
A book that asks you to trust his words has to be honest about its own sourcing. The rule of this project is simple: research the field, never dress doctrine as fact, and keep the layers visibly separate.
- Canonical red letters — American Standard Version, 1901. Public domain, unabridged, unedited.
- The Gospel of Thomas — the public-domain English translation of Mark M. Mattison, from the Coptic of Nag Hammadi Codex II.
- The Gospel of Mary Magdalene — the public-domain English translation of Mark M. Mattison, from Papyrus Berolinensis 8502. Over half the original text is lost; the gaps are marked where they fall rather than filled in.
- Bridges, overlays, reflection prompts and declarations — composed editorial content, always marked as such, never presented as translation.
- Contested attestation — where a passage's manuscript support is weak, the volume says so instead of leaning on it.
