Synopsis: Walk in the shoes of the disciples, as New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin brings their stories to life with his storyteller&’s perspective. In the first century, believer didn&’t just mean someone who heard and agreed with Jesus; it meant someone who acted on that belief. And when the outside world saw the faith of these new believers, they declared &“they turned the world upside down&” (Acts 17:6).That&’s the kind of believer Charles Martin wants us to be. The kind who understands that the truth of Jesus&’ life, death, and resurrection is so powerful, it reshaped history. The kind of believer who lives with that same world-changing faith today. In his second non-fiction work, he uses his talents as a novelist to walk you through the lives of the disciples in the aftermath of the Resurrection and as they spread the message of the Gospel and &“turn the world upside down&”, leading up to Paul&’s ministry in Thessonalica. In his beloved lyrical style, Martin illuminates key moments from Scripture and shares stories from his own life as a disciple.With the same depth, sensitivity, and emotion that have made his novels beloved to millions, Martin will helps you engage with your faith in a new and inspiring way.
