Produktbeschreibung
In the pre-Christian era, Ioannes, a Roman soldier, dies on a Middle Eastern battlefield. Captured, chained, and humiliated in the afterlife, he suddenly finds a band of demons escorting him to hell. As he makes the arduous journey downward, he reflects upon his earthly search for the truth of the one true God. He contemplates his condemnation and regrets not sharing his belief in Adonai with his friend and fellow legionnaire. Cælius has a conversion of heart after his friend Ioannes' death. This conversion leads out of the legion and into the Roman Navy. Over the next two years, he achieves a small amount of peace as he sails the Mediterranean and discretely learns of God and the coming Messiah. His new faith is revealed and tested during a storm off the coast of Cyprus, where he gives his life trying to save his shipmates. Both soldiers descend into Hades. Ioannes must pass through the gates of hell on foot, while Cælius finds himself floating down the River Styx into the underworld. Surrounded by horror, their journeys are fraught with torment and despair. What do they witness after the crucifixion of Jesus? Will their newfound faith unite and save them as just pagans? Or are they destined to be separated in Hell forever?
Autorenporträt
John Eudy is a 26-year military veteran. He was a soldier in the Army National Guard and a 'shallow water' sailor in the U.S. Coast Guard.Admittedly not as well-traveled as the wayfarer rat, he has at least been up and down the river a time or two. Additional expeditions include cautiously wandering the lava fields of Kilauea, snowshoeing to the summit of Cadillac Mountain, strolling among giants in King's Canyon, and swimming with wild dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico (which he embarrassingly thought were sharks at first sight). John even traveled through time once ... by crossing the international date line to visit Guam.These days, John and his family reside smack-dab in the middle of the country, not too far from the river, though. He has been married to his lovely wife of 30 years, and they are the proud parents of four daughters, two of whom are already with God in heaven.Inspired by faith and scripture, he enjoys weaving history, cultural legends, personal life experiences, and Christian morality into fictional novellas.
