Synopsis

The new novel in the Jesus Chronicles, the bestselling series from the authors of the Left Behind novels.

Levi was studying to be a priest, but when an unspeakable tragedy befalls his family, he turns his back on his faith and decides to pursue riches and luxury instead. He becomes a tax collector, disappointing his family and reviled by Jews and Romans alike. And although he is a success, his chosen trade does not bring him contentment. When he hears about Jesus, the man who some are saying is the prophesied Messiah, he begins a quest that leads him to question his very existence. As he follows Jesus and records His words and deeds, Levi is shaken to the core and transformed. Renamed "Matthew" by Jesus—literally "gift from God"-he is called to give up his work and his worldly possessions and claims Jesus as his Lord.

Matthew's Story is a novel that brings to life the most unlikely of apostles—a sinner-turned-saint-and his time with the Lord. Thrilling and uplifting, Matthew's Story shows how the true Messiah changed the life of one man, and forever altered the course of history.

Goodreads review by Dempse

So far it's the best of the bunch. I'm reading them out of order apparently. I'm always nervous about books starring Jesus, but they represented him in a good way sticking to scripture for the most part. The story of Matthew basically proves I had never even thought about who wrote it. YES I recogni......more

Goodreads review by Julia

This is the third book of the Jesus Chronicles I have read. Unlike the other two (Luke and John), this one was a little hard to read in the first few chapters. It's only because it is about the death of Levi's infant brother. But all I had to do was keep reading, knowing there's a great story ahead.......more
