The past twelve months have been hectic because I’ve been spending so much time researching and writing about Christians in the first century. In particular, I’ve been a little obsessed with John, the last of the twelve disciples. Now I can reveal that my new book is out, available on Amazon.com in both ebook and paperback versions.

Book? What book?

A few years back, I did a study at my church on the Apostle John. That little project got me hooked on the man who started out life as a fisherman and then became the last disciple of Christ. The more I learned about John, the more I wanted to know.

If you’ve ever been obsessed with anything, you’ll understand that I couldn’t stop researching, digging, and diving into the life of John and all those around him.

What did John do after the Crucifixion?

Why did he wait so long to write the Gospel of John?

Where did he live for the last 60 years of his life?

The result of all that research is a four-book series of Christian historical novels. The first book in the series is available on Amazon.com. The Last Disciple is a series of Christian novels based on the Bible and Christian history. Below is a short description of the book.

The Last Disciple: Crisis in Jerusalem

He was the Beloved Disciple…and he would be the last.
The mantle to tell the whole story has fallen on him.

From the cross, Jesus entrusted John with the welfare of Mary, Jesus’s mother. Over thirty years later, as Jerusalem becomes a cauldron of violence, John receives a calling he doesn’t want. Will he listen and follow? And if he does, will it be too late?

In 62 AD, the Jewish high priest executes James, the brother of Jesus, triggering a bitter fight for power in Jerusalem that shatters the quiet life of John. The Jewish people he loves are making dangerous choices that will change the land of Israel forever. Should he stay in Jerusalem and help hold off the Roman onslaught? Or is it time to reach out to those beyond Israel’s borders?

If he chooses to leave, what will be his message to these foreign believers? What new words of comfort could he possibly share?

Set against a backdrop of actual events, The Last Disciple: Crisis in Jerusalem is the first novel in a new series based on the Bible and Christian history. Follow along while John faces multiple crises and comes to understand what it is to stand alone and lean on only the Lord. Your heart will embrace John’s story because it is also the story of our hope and promise.

Thus endeth the commercial message

Now I’m working on the second book in this series, called The Last Disciple: Escape to Antioch. At least I’m supposed to be working, but the weather is so great, and I haven’t been to the beach in ages…
