John's Journey With Jesus by Kurt Brouwer

The Last Disciple of Christ

Who was John? Where did he live? Why was he drawn first to John the Baptist and then to Jesus Christ?

What did John do after the Crucifixion? And how, at the end of his life, did he end up on the island of Patmos off the coast of modern-day Turkey?

When did he write the Gospel of John, and why was his writing so different from the other gospel accounts?

Of all the disciples, John lived the longest. He outlived them all. And he knew all the main people we read of in the New Testament. He was the youngest, and in the fullness of time, he became the last disciple.
