The Greatest Life is an original translation of the Gospels, designed to present "a continuous story with strict adherence to the original grammar, while preserving the best English equivalent." It also incorporates numerous in-text notes, diagrams, and links that help the scholar relate passages from each Gospel together into a single, cohesive story.

A proven tool that aids Bible study by presenting the story of Christ in a clear format for the reader, this book fits easily within the framework of Logos Bible Software. First, in its print form (see page scans below) it was developed to include scripture links and diagrams throughout in order to emphasize its companionship with your Bible. Also, because of its narrative design, Jesus Christ The Greatest Life comes alongside your preferred Bible as a tool that will bring greater perspective of Christ's life and teachings to your studies.
Foreword from the Print Edition
Can you imagine four authors writing separate biographies of the same individual and those four biographies dovetailing perfectly without contradiction? That has happened only once in history.
The subject was Jesus Christ and the authors were Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Arising from different eyewitness accounts of His life, each of their biographies has a distinct flavor and a unique story line. In spite of their uniqueness, however, it is possible to weave all four of them together completely and without contradiction - adding nothing, deleting nothing - using only the data provided by the authors.
Such a compilation had never been done in more than 1,900 years until Johnston (Jack) Cheney completed it at age seventy-six, after twenty-three years of work that began on what was supposedly his deathbed. This accomplishment would have been impossible for anyone, however, if the four Gospels did not have a Divine Author. As the apostle Peter points out, "No prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation [or 'origin'], for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." (2 Peter 1:20-21, NKJV).
Thus, Jack Cheney was a further human instrument to do a phenomenal service in demonstrating the superintendence of God in writing the life of His Son, Jesus Christ.
