In the long-awaited sequel to "Between Two Seas," "The Courier" takes up the story with the shadowy, cloaked figure sailing from the island of Melitene, leaving behind a path of misery and destruction. But though the young man has escaped the island, can he escape himself? Fifteen-year-old Eletia, pregnant and new to the faith, is wondering how she will raise her child alone, with the father nowhere to be found. Though the fledgling church on Melitene is thriving under the leadership of Publius and his wife Amoenitas, sinister forces are at work on the island, determined to destroy both freedom and the church. The centurion Julius, a follower of Christ, is charged with conveying Paul to Rome. He longs to leave the army and to settle down to married life. A certain young lady has caught his eye, but duty comes first. Inspired from the book of Acts and within the historical context of the first century church and its surrounding culture, "The Courier" spins a tale of rousing action, romance, intrigue, persecution, heartbreak, redemption, and triumph. How the first century followers of Christ dealt with their hardships informs how we who dwell in the twenty-first ought to live in our time, as we face the same age-old struggle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness.

Autorenporträt
When Bob Ward first believed in Christ on October 2, 1966, it was like "someone turned on the lights in a darkened room." The lifestyle he had formerly embraced he suddenly hated. After serving in the United States Air Force from 1969 to 1972 in Germany, he remained for another year in ministry. He then returned home and earned a Bachelor of Science in Christian Education from San Diego Christian College. A twenty-seven-year career with the United Parcel Service followed. Now retired, Bob lives in Escondido, California, with his wife Gisela. He loves to spend time with his five children and twelve grandchildren. He has twelve published drama titles to his credit. His other books include Delivered out of the Lion's Mouth, and a soon-to-be-released historical novels called Between Two Seas.
