The Twelve Apostles of Jesus

God's Chosen Messengers

By: Richard Orzeck

Narrated by: Zach Maverick

The Apostles of Jesus were twelve ordinary Jewish men who walked upon the face of our earth with the Son of God. And in doing so, they changed the course of human history.

And the thing is, we know almost nothing about them . . . Until now.

The author's name is Richard Orzeck, and he is a practicing veterinarian living in upstate New York. For the last seven years, he has visited sixteen countries on three continents, researching, photographing, and learning all that is humanly possible to know about these twelve men.

Using scholarly sources, modern translations of ancient texts, and the often-ignored concept of local tradition, the author follows the lives of each of the Twelve Apostles. He begins with their calling by the Lord, then documents the most likely geographical locations of their evangelical missions, and finally shares with us the locations of their deaths by martyrdom. This Book Will Transform Your Faith's Journey. Gain unprecedented insights into the personal histories, backgrounds, and personalities of the twelve apostles. Discover how their ordinary lives were transformed into extraordinary missions, inspiring your own faith's journey.

Dr. Orzeck's book has beautifully illustrated pages and maps that provide a visual feast that enhances your reading experience. See where the apostles traveled and visualize the settings of their monumental acts and teachings. It is scholarly yet readable. This book is ideal for both seasoned theologians and new believers looking to expand their knowledge of early Christianity.

Wonderful information

Wonderful information and insight into the lives and journeys of the apostles. Although, the narrator was slow, choppy, lilting, and somewhat comical. Better suited for childrens stories.
