You are so loved by God that he gave you his only Son, that if you believe in him, you will not perish but you shall have eternal life. Although this is a work of fiction about the Apostle John, this book focuses on the truth of the wonderful promises of God for you. "You" is the first word of the novel, and it comprises the last non-biblical word. And you will read that many of the promises have already been kept, for as John takes his life journey, he learns again and again that from Abraham to Jesus to God's Revelation to him that "the Lord himself will provide the Lamb." Along the way, you will meet the strong women in John's life. His birth mother, Salome, who becomes a faithful follower of Jesus but endures much heartache throughout her life. Mary, who by the edict of Jesus, becomes John's born-again mother and teaches him many lessons even as a grown man. You will meet the Elect Lady referenced in the Second Letter of John and Lydia, the dealer in purple cloth from the book of Acts and the first person from Europe to be baptized. There will be some ups and downs. You will witness the martyrdoms and the sufferings of the faithful Christians. Because even the apostles are sinners, you will observe some of that. And you may even have a few laughs. At times, you may become frustrated with John or some of the others. And that is a good thing. Because although this book tells their stories, the great promises of God through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ are its most important message for you.
