Synopsis: "The apostles: twelve men personally chosen by jesus Christ to lead in his ministry of God's Love-and a thirteenth, Matthias, later selected by the apostles themselves when a replacement was needed. Few of us today could name them all, if asked, and yet, together, this small group has left an utterly indelible impact. Jesus left his mission and message in the care of these persons; today, their spiritual descendants fill the world. In this book, I have tried to find the particular characteristic in each of the thirteen apostles that would seem to define that person most clearly. As you read, I pray that something about the lives of these storied figures will help you move a step closer to the Lord who called them and who has called you and me." --J. Ellsworth Kala This book also includes a study guide.
