Thirtieth Anniversary Edition. This is the epic story of the apostle who wrote about the beginning of time and the end of time. You will feel as if you are actually walking with John. You will sense the power and the enthusiasm of Peter. You will understand the doubts of Thomas, the quiet support of James, the treachery of Judas. The turmoil and bewilderment of the Crucifixion will surround you, and the wonderment of the Resurrection will lift your spirit. You'll have a whole new appreciation for the amazing growth of the early Church and its struggles against the cruel Romans. Travel with John down desert paths, through the courts of the Holy City, and to the foot of the Cross. Journey with him from his luxury as a privileged son of Israel to the bitter hardship of his exile on Patmos. This is a saga of adventure, romance and discovery -- of a man bigger than life -- the disciple "whom Jesus loved."
