Synopsis

<p>Walk in the shoes of the disciples, as&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author Charles Martin brings their stories to life with his storyteller&rsquo;s perspective.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-shadow: transparent 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.68) 0px 0px 0px !important; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;">In the first century,&nbsp;believer&nbsp;didn&rsquo;t just mean someone who heard and agreed with Jesus; it meant someone who acted on that belief. And when the outside world saw the faith of these new believers, they declared &ldquo;they turned the world upside down&rdquo; (Acts 17:6).</p><p style="text-shadow: transparent 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.68) 0px 0px 0px !important; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;">That&rsquo;s the kind of believer Charles Martin wants us to be. The kind who understands that the truth of Jesus&rsquo; life, death, and resurrection is so powerful, it reshaped history. The kind of believer who lives with that same world-changing faith today.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-shadow: transparent 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.68) 0px 0px 0px !important; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;">In his second non-fiction work, he uses his talents as a novelist to walk you through the lives of the disciples in the aftermath of the Resurrection and as they spread the message of the Gospel and &ldquo;turn the world upside down&rdquo;, leading up to Paul&rsquo;s ministry in Thessonalica. In his beloved lyrical style, Martin illuminates key moments from Scripture and shares stories from his own life as a disciple.</p><p style="text-shadow: transparent 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.68) 0px 0px 0px !important; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;">With the same depth, sensitivity, and emotion that have made his novels beloved to millions, Martin will helps you engage with your faith in a new and inspiring way.</p>
