First Light (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780983387336)

Simon Peter had given up wife, family and business to follow Jesus. John was told by his father that he was too young to follow the Rabbi, but he had done it anyway. Andrew knew the moment he saw Jesus that He was the Messiah. Simon, the Zealot, saw the man he believed held the key to Israel's freedom from the Romans, so he followed. Matthew found acceptance when Jesus entered his tax office and left all of that behind. Mary longed for real, caring love and friends, which she found in the band of women who aided the Rabbi in his work. Nicodemus discovered the truth foretold in Scripture, but which he had not understood until he met Jesus. Mark marveled at the wonderful teaching he heard when the Rabbi came. James had known Jesus as his older brother, but couldn't accept that He was anything more. Now He was gone! Crucified! The followers of Jesus struggle with their grief and guilt by recalling memorable moments they experienced with the Master during the past three years and their shortcomings the fateful night of His arrest. Little do they know what they will find out the next day that will propel them to the heights of joy! Join them for these two momentous days that changed not only their lives, but the whole world.
