by Rod Bennett (Author)
In These Twelve, author Rod Bennett shows that the apostles weren't random, interchangeable parts--mere pawns that Jesus exploited to accomplish his mission. No, these men were the mission. In this riveting re-examination of familiar Gospel events from the ground-floor perspective of Christ's hand-picked heirs, you will learn the true meaning of apostolicity--and why it's an essential mark of the one Church that Jesus founded to make the whole world his Chosen People.
