Why did I love this book?
Two stories in one, woven together in a way that makes each more compelling.
Modern-day seminary professor Augustine Knox is no Indiana Jones, but he answers the call when a dear friend is in danger. Learning undiscovered writings of the Apostle Paul may be at stake, he puts all fear of danger aside.

I love the writings of Paul and have often wondered about him as a person, what drove him to persecute the new followers of Jesus, and why he remained unmarried at a time when that wasn’t common.
Each night as I read, I was transported to the ancient Middle East and modern-day Rome, feeling closer to this legend whom I have long admired.
