Turkish Title: Efendi

English Title: The Master

Author: John Pollock

In The Master John Pollock retells the story of Jesus’s ministry and teachings, as found in the gospels, in novel form.  The story is divided into three sections: Declaration in Galilee, Death in Jerusalem, and the Glorious Morning.

Chuck Colson says of The Master, “This book tells the greatest drama of all time and reminds us in a wonderful way of the God becoming man paradox, that turns all the wisdom and ways of the world upside down.    Pollock decribes Christ faithfully, being true to His words; after reading this book you cannot help but feel you know Christ better.”

Behnan Konutgan, one of the translators of the Turkish Bible, recommends it as follows:
“The Master described in this book is a totally different Master.  He is a Master who loves, forgives and gives life ... Do you want to learn who this incomparable Master is?  If so, read this book.  Then you will discover many more things about this Master.”

Orhan Özçelik, leader of Zeytinburnu Church in İstanbul, says, “Jesus Christ is the Lord of Lords.  All power in heaven and earth is His.  He is a Master who came to this earth to show God’s love to men, who healed the sick, who performed miracles, who set people free, who died for our sins and broke the power of death through His resurrection, and who has changed my life too and given me eternal life.  This is the Master which this author makes known.”
