Publisher Description
As Benjamin discovered, it is not easy to be the great-grandson of the last living apostle.
There are times when he is torn in his loyalties.
There are times he wants to be more involved in his father’s business in the bustling Ephesus market, but he also enjoys his work with his great-grandfather, the Apostle John.
When he is offered an amazing opportunity to accompany his great-grandfather around the churches of Revelation he is overjoyed.
It is two years later and many experiences later when they return to Ephesus.
Everything has changed, including him. He has finally grown up and wants to marry Deborah, who has also grown up while he has been gone.
But, his plans go dramatically wrong.
A chance meeting with a group of strangers will have a long-term and devastating impact on Benjamin’s life.
One that has him leaving Ephesus angry and in despair, rejected by Deborah’s father, and questioning his faith.
Will his flight help him decide on his future?
Or will it take him further from God?

A Wonderful, Inspiring Story...Like a Bible Study Come to Life!
Have you ever wondered what life was like in the early years of the Christian Church, when believers lived under Roman rule and faced tests on every side? This fast- moving tale brings that time to life as we follow the story of Benjamin, the great-grandson of the apostle John, the last living apostle of Christ. As a young man living in Ephesus, raised in the Christian life, he faces tests of his faith at home and on his travels with the apostle John around the various church groups in Asia Minor. And just as his great-grandfather begins writing his account of Christ's life, Benjamin faces his greatest trial.
This book is historically researched but never overwhelms with detail. it is easy to read and really made me think of how i would act in similar circumstances. This is the first book in the series, so I look forward to reading more about Benjamin, John and their fellow- believers. A wonderful, inspiring story.
