The Prisoner Of Rome

The Prisoner of Rome is a masterful weaving of political intrigue filled with disguises, twists, maneuvering, and personal agendas! Enraged Jewish leaders react to the apostle Paul and cause a near riot. In danger, and accused of treason against Rome, Paul is snatched away by Roman soldiers and taken into custody. The Bible and historical records are mysteriously brief concerning this two-year time in Paul's life. What persons and events might he have encountered while imprisoned? In this tale of spies and subterfuge, suspicions and surprises, you will be intrigued by the sly manipulators, and inspired by the victories of faith to overcome struggles. It is a tightly-woven tapestry of cunning characters and challenging events, peppered with fascinating details of first century Roman culture, politics, and power. Clashes between the Roman elite and the early church come alive in a vivid depiction of life in Rome and God's work in the midst of it. While lives around the apostle churn with uncertainty, Paul maintains steadfast faith in the midst of the chaos. He sees opportunities and God's provision in his circumstances, and ministers to those who are providentially involved--soldiers and citizens, senators and slaves, believers and unbelievers. Enjoy an exciting journey into possibilities, based on Biblical and historical facts.
