A rip roaring, hair-raising, edge-of-your-chair saga of the first century believers. From the day of Pentecost on, through the first seventeen years, every historical figure of that age is there; alive, vivid, believable.
The book of Acts is there; ancient history is there; men secular and sacred come alive! An historical cliff-hanger written like a novel.
There is not another book on the first century like it in print. The story of the Early Church, the Word of God in Century One is once more alive, down to earth, and thrilling. A new dimension in first century history.
