The Last Disciple: Crisis in Jerusalem
From the Cross, Jesus entrusted John, son of Zebedee, the youngest disciple, with the welfare of Mary, Jesus’s mother. Over thirty years later, as Jerusalem becomes a cauldron of explosive tempers, John receives a calling he doesn’t want.
Will he listen and follow?
And if he does, will it be too late?
In 62 AD, the Jewish high priest executes James, the brother of Jesus, triggering a bitter fight for power in Jerusalem that shatters the quiet life of John. The Jewish people he loves are making dangerous choices that will change the land of Israel forever.
Should he stay in Jerusalem and help hold off the Roman onslaught? Or is it time to reach out to those beyond Israel’s borders?
If he chooses to leave, what will be his message to these foreign believers? What new words of comfort could he possibly share?
Set against a backdrop of actual events, The Last Disciple: Crisis in Jerusalem is the first novel in a new series based on the Bible and Christian history.
Follow along while John faces multiple crises and comes to understand what it is to stand alone and lean on only the Lord.

About the Author
Just a quick update: The second book in my Christian historical series has been released on Amazon in both ebook and paperback. It's called, The Last Disciple: Escape to Antioch.
It continues the saga of the Apostle John, who became the last of the twelve disciples. In Book Two, the Jewish Revolt turns Jerusalem into an armed camp. John decides to leave, but he has to make his way through a land beset by warring factions. Christians in Jerusalem and other cities had to choose. Stay and fight a worldly war or leave and follow Jesus?
I also just finished the manuscript for book three in the series. It will be called, The Last Disciple: Exile in Ephesus.
