Welcome to the website for The Gospel of I AM a book authored by Edward Beam, that’s me. It came about one overnight as I was listening to the Asbury Revival in 2023, and I began wrestling with this one question, what would Jesus Christ say to his followers today to encourage them. Would he be happy with what he is seeing today or would he read some people the riot act.
The Gospel of I AM first looks at the I Am statements that Jesus makes in the Gospel of John. This establishes who Jesus is. Many good people today have yet to experience this Jesus for themselves, and I hope that happens while reading this book. From there, Jesus goes on to provide principles for living in today’s crazy and often dark world. The Gospel of I AM is all about God’s love for you. What are you going to do with that simple message? Your future depends on it. Your eternity depends on this simple question.
The Gospel of I AM is a love letter to you. We live in a real crazy and dark world, and I challenge you to bring light to it. How does one do that? Well, the answer is read and learn! Jesus has a definite message for you today, and through these pages hopefully this message becomes clear. For you who need to experience Jesus for yourself, I hope that you find challenge, direction and purpose in these pages.
Here is the forward to The Gospel of I AM written by Dr. Peter Wyns who is not only my pastor but a respected author and travels the world working with pastors and ministries. Here is what he had to say.
“The narrative of Jesus and the good news he brings is the greatest story ever told. It has been shared in many different ways as a teaching, or given as a story with such creative diversity so as to reach all kinds of people, regardless of their culture or demographic. The multiple applications of the telling of Jesus seem to be limitless, yet in all my studies I have never seen the message come as if God, the Father, was sharing it.
Ed Beam, with a BA in journalism and MA in communications, writes with great skill as he brings to us the Gospel of I AM. God the Father is the Great I AM and no one can tell the story of his Son better. With multiple scripture references, dozens of witty illustrations and lots of humor, Ed’s work is a delight to read. In the book, he covers the mission of Christ and the great invitation he offers to all humanity. It is a mystery that through him we can become part of the family of God. Ed does not shy away from the serious truths of this Gospel, yet he presents them with grace, dignity and compassion. The Gospel of I AM reveals the Father’s love for his Son but it also shows us the Father’s love for people. God’s love is compelling and persistent and that is the message that Ed Beam brings to us.
The Gospel of I AM, will be a treasured discovery for those who are looking for deeper meaning in life. Reading this book will also be greatly enjoyed by those who have walked with Christ for years. It is a beacon of light for seekers and a rich teaching for the faithful.
I recommend this book for people who love to read, for starter-seekers and veteran disciples alike. If you know of someone who is hungry for truth but has never heard or understood the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, this book is especially for them. ” Â
