Two years ago, I've read the Holy Bible from cover to cover. However, it is only now, thanks to this book, that I got a good understanding of what happened after Jesus died particularly the story of the apostles and how they spread Christianity in that part of the world. Most of the gospel is focused on either the stories in Old Testaments and the ministry of Jesus. Even movies and books on New Testament are about Jesus so that was probably the reason that prior to this book, I only had sketchy knowledge about St. Peter and how he lead the 12 apostles and St. Paul that used to be Saul who persecuted the early Christians. It is also through this book where I learned about St. Stephen who was the first of the seven good people chosen by the Apostles to help them. It is only through the book where I learned that St. James was the first among the 12 Apostles to die in the name of Jesus.I also enjoyed about the way angels helped the Apostles in times of need. How I wish God still use this to release political prisoners and those in prison who are innocent of the crimes they are blamed for. I particularly liked the ending. We all know that most of the Apostles died as martyrs but it's good that the book did not detail their gruesome deaths. Instead, it showed how St. Paul became an old man and died at 63 years of age.God is really good for bringing this book to my attention through the instigation of my friend Weng, my usual lunch companion in the office.
