 How did the Gospel books come about?

It was years after the death and resurrection of Jesus that the Gospel accounts were written. First, Jesus was sent by God to preach about the Good News of His Love. Then, after Jesus died and resurrected, the stories about Jesus words and deeds were passed on by word of mouth. Then, each of the Gospel writers wrote the things that had been seen or heard as Jesus met and spoke to the people of His time. The Gospel writers wrote what the apostles preached. The apostles preached the Good News that Jesus has come to save all men by his life, death and resurrection.
