Within the pages of Wesley James’
book,
The
Christian and the Lion ($19.99, paperback, 9781545651193; $8.99, ebook,
9781545651209), readers will find a book that tells the story of Antiachus, the
last Spartan, who is captured by the Romans and placed by an evangelist on the
voyage to Rome. After converting to Christianity, he soon discovers Caesar Nero
uses lions, hyenas, and gladiators to fight Christians in the Circus Maximus.
As the world becomes darker
and persecution of Christianity becomes more rampant, today’s Christians will
be able to identify with the characters of the same faith two thousand years
ago.
“I hope to show readers how
early the letters of the apostles were in circulation in the black heart of
Rome,” says James.
In the story are historical
truths and evidence most Christians are not aware of today that will answer the
toughest skeptic's objections.
Wesley James is a registered
nurse and respiratory therapist whose two greatest passions are working for the
church in Third World countries and researching ancient history and archeology.
