With only sparse Biblical clues to follow, this fictitious account gives a creative reader an enthralling glimpse into the saga of the people and places that became the century one church. Your imagination is required to frame pictures of the birth of the church and the early challenges of the Apostles who were given the task of preaching the Word. Mark's Gospel was collaborated from the collective memories of the disciples who had journeyed with Jesus, and the preaching material of Simon Peter. Follow their footsteps as first century inspiration collides with Jewish opposition and finally Roman persecution. The tempered beauty of the Christian faith survived to become a world changing force.
