About this ebook

As one studies Isaiah's life, it becomes clear why he is distinguished as the greatest of all the prophets. Over 600 years before Christ walked the earth; Isaiah was entrusted with the vision of Christ's coming to rescue humanity. He saw the Messiah, and it changed him forever.
To call Isaiah the greatest of all prophets is a dramatic understatement, for he was more than a prophet, he was the first to fully comprehend what the coming of the Messiah revealed about the heart of God.

    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

    First and foremost we must acknowledge the Lord, who has made His word known to us through prophets such as Isaiah.  For in Him, all things were created and have life.  To Him be all honor and glory and praise forever, amen.

    This study would have been impossible without the constant love and support of my beloved wife, who inspires me daily by simply being her wonderful self, and for exploring with me this incomprehensibly deep love that the Father has for us.  My love for you stopped fitting into mere words years ago and continues to grow each day.

    I also would like to thank my father, for teaching me every day through his quiet, constant example of righteousness, my mother, for loving me when I was quite unlovable, and both of them for showing me what a true teacher is.

    Finally, this study would not exist were it not for Bettie Mitchell and the people at Good Samaritan Ministries (GSM) in Beaverton, Oregon.  GSM is perhaps the closest thing
