Book Description
Thomas the apostle was a contradiction. He willingly took up the mantel and followed Jesus during his ministry, yet when called on to take the message to others, he resisted. Questioning another’s rationale was in his DNA. However, his path was almost always true, and his goals were honorable. Using church traditions, local history, and various apocryphal writings, this novel is the telling of Thomas’s journey to the Indian subcontinent, where the apostle disseminated the teachings of Jesus in a land of unfamiliar customs and ingrained, ancient beliefs. The journey was not easy—made all the more complicated by Thomas’s own doubts of his abilities. He suffered servitude, imprisonment, a shipwreck, and other life-threatening challenges as he struggled to fulfill his commitment to Christ. Nevertheless, his determination was resolute, and eventually his mission was accomplished. Today, millions of Christians look on Thomas as a cornerstone of their faith.
