Discovering Jesus' Disciples - Hardcover

by James Allen Moseley (Author)

Apart from a few famous stories, like Peter walking on water, most readers of the Bible have only a vague notion of who Jesus's apostles were and what they did. They had incredibly adventurous lives. This book, gleaned from over a decade of teaching and study, takes you on a magic carpet ride with the apostles, reveals the world through their eyes, and accurately retraces every known step of their lives. Imprisoned in Nero's Rome, Paul wrote, ""I am an ambassador in chains."" Apostle means ambassador, and these long-suffering ambassadors of Christ bore the gospel over tens of thousands of miles from Jerusalem to Africa, Europe, and Asia. They planted churches, had heavenly encounters, worked miracles, wrote all-time best-sellers, were shipwrecked, flogged, imprisoned, and martyred, and turned empires and kingdoms upside down. This book is a journey of discovery back to the first century, experiencing how, against all odds, these embattled and triumphant ambassadors in chains so perfectly fulfilled the Great Commission of Jesus.
