In the Bible we are given just a "bare-bones" look into the lives, motives, issues and consequences of the apostles and other people who took part in the amazing birth of the Church Age. The author has fleshed-out the times and culture with dramatic behind-the-scenes glimpses into the intents of both believers and persecutors as events unfolded, providing not only a gripping narrative of the daring deeds of the early Church fathers, but revealing the power of God to transform lives and exert His will through His chosen vessels.
