The Hands that God Used
Over dit audioboek
LIVING THE NEW TESTAMENT YEARS WITH JOHN MARK & THE APOSTLES
According to early church sources, John Mark had ‘ho kolobodaktulos’ i.e. stumpy or mutilated fingers. As a boy, he had moved from North Africa to Jerusalem, where his parent’s hosted the last supper. He was the only eye witness awake in Gethsemane, and was with Peter and Paul at some of the key points in the history of the early church.
This novel explores the epoch-making times of one of the New Testaments unsung heroes. Beyond the horizon of his darkest fears and notable failures, we join John Mark as he embarks on a fifty year adventure across the ancient world.
From Jerusalem to Rome, from temple tunnels to the lions of the Circus Maximus, through sieges and imprisonments, shipwrecks and torture, love and loss, John Mark finds God has more use for his hands than he could ever have believed.
