Description:
Two thousand years ago, twelve ordinary men witnessed something so extraordinary that it transformed them from frightened fugitives into the most fearless martyrs in history. Fishermen, tax collectors, zealots-none destined for greatness-became the foundation of a faith that changed the world. What did they see that made them willing to die for it?
The Apostles of Jesus is a gripping historical and spiritual investigation into the lives, missions, and martyrdoms of those who walked beside Christ. Drawing from biblical accounts, ancient traditions, and modern research, Michael Selas reconstructs their journeys across three continents-from Jerusalem to Rome, from Armenia to India-revealing the courage, humanity, and unwavering conviction behind each apostle's story.
You will stand beside Peter as he faces crucifixion in Rome, witness James's beheading in Jerusalem, and follow Thomas to the burning shores of India. Beyond legend, this book exposes the historical truth behind their ultimate sacrifices, offering a compelling portrait of faith under fire.
Equal parts history and testimony, The Apostles of Jesus invites believers and skeptics alike to confront an enduring mystery: what could drive ordinary men to give everything for what they claimed to have seen?
