Those who love the TV series 'The Chosen' will love this book. The Thomas Letters takes the reader on an intriguing journey in the mind of the character Thomas, one of Jesus' disciples. We follow him in his cynical phase, his conviction phase, his disillusionment phase, and finally as he reaches his personal epiphany. For Thomas it is the point of no return when all his doubts and fears about the truth of Jesus as the Son of God, are finally laid aside. This is no ordinary book. The entire book is woven around real historical events (some of them quite spicy) in the Roman Empire during the years of Jesus's life and following his crucifixion and resurrection. The character Thomas is drawn as a businessman who works through things systematically and logically. The exchange of letters between him and his Roman friend gives the reader a unique perspective on this familiar story. Subtle details of life in Judea in the first century bring the whole story of Jesus vibrantly to life.
The book ends poignantly and rather unexpectedly. Read it and take a journey that will move you, inform you, and draw you closer to an intimate knowledge of the Greatest Person in history.
