Paul, Apostle of Christ
Paul, Apostle of Christ: The Novelization of the Major Motion Picture | Angela Hunt
2 posts | 1 read
Paul, Apostle of Christ is the story of two men. Luke, as a friend and physician, risks his life every time he ventures into the city of Rome to visit Paul, held captive in Nero's bleakest prison cell. Before Paul's execution, Luke resolves to write another book, one that details the beginnings of "The Way" and the birth of what will come to be known as the church. But Nero is determined to rid Rome of Christians. Paul has survived so much--floggings, shipwreck, starvation, stoning, hunger and thirst, cold and exposure--yet as he waits for his appointment with death, he is haunted by the shadows of his past. He wonders if he has been forgotten . . . and if he has the strength to finish well. Two men struggle against a determined emperor and the frailties of the human spirit in order to bequeath the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.

I read the book before watching the movie, and it is an amazing read. You are carried along through the agony of Paul‘s last days and his friendship with Luke. You cannot help but cry at the ending. A worthy read.
