BRIAN SIMMONS is the lead translator of The Passion Translation(R). The Passion Translation (TPT) is a heart-level translation that uses Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic manuscripts to express God's fiery heart of love to this generation, merging the emotion and life-changing truth of God's Word. The hope for TPT is to trigger inside every reader an overwhelming response to the truth of the Bible and to reveal the deep mysteries of the Scriptures in the love language of God, the language of the heart. Brian is currently translating the Old Testament.

After a dramatic conversion to Christ in 1971, Brian and his wife, Candice, answered the call of God to leave everything behind and become missionaries to unreached peoples. Taking their three children to the tropical rain forest of Central America, they planted churches for many years with the Paya-Kuna people group. Brian established leadership for the churches that Jesus birthed, and, having been trained in linguistics and Bible translation principles, assisted with the translation of the Paya-Kuna New Testament.

After their ministry overseas, Brian and Candice returned to North America, where Brian began to passionately work toward helping people encounter the risen Christ. He and his wife planted numerous ministries, including a dynamic church in New England (U.S.). They also established Passion & Fire Ministries, under which they travel full-time as Bible teachers in service of local churches throughout the world.

Brian is the author of numerous books, Bible studies, and devotionals that help readers encounter God's heart and experience a deeper revelation of God as our Bridegroom King, including Throne Room Prayer, The Sacred Journey, Prayers on Fire, The Divine Romance, and The Vision.

Brian and Candice have been married since 1971 and have three children as well as precious grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Their passion is to live as loving examples of a spiritual father and mother to this generation.

Klappentext

The book of Leviticus unfurls one sacred month in the shadow of Yahweh's holy mountain. In the wilderness, God taught the Israelites and consecrated his holy priesthood.

The very voice of God reveals his dazzling, unapproachable holiness and his boundless mercy to sanctify his people and draw them near. The rhythm of a nation centered on Yahweh is felt in the sacrifices, compassionate justice, and calendar of feast days. Leviticus is for every believer who longs to be a pleasing aroma to God. It encourages us to wash in the forgiveness he offers and live with a heartbeat of gratitude and integrity.

As a kingdom of priests today, we are privileged to enter the fire of worship. Leviticus invites us to sit at the foot of Sinai, listen to Yahweh's voice in reverential awe, and be transformed by the searing, cleansing flame of his presence.

"Express love to your neighbor as you demonstrate love for yourself. Remember, I am Yahweh."

Leviticus 19:18
