Leading Philippi: Epaphroditus' Story
A New Testament Historical Biblical Fiction about Epaphroditus from Philippians set in 1st-century Philippi.
In the raging sea of fear, Epaphroditus finds his faith.
A priestess of Aphrodite has spoken a prophecy over Epaphroditus. A grim fate awaits him aboard a ship.
So the wealthy merchant's son keeps to dry land in the bustling colony of Philippi and lives the life he truly wants through the letters of his closest friend Luke, a compassionate physician who sails wherever the suffering need him and seems to fear nothing at all.
Then a bold traveler named Paul arrives with news of a humble craftsman from Nazareth who was executed and did not stay dead. Against everything he expected, Epaphroditus believes.
His new faith asks something he never wanted to face. The man he now serves sits in a Roman prison across the water, he is in need, and the only road to him leads over the sea.
Join Epaphroditus as he learns to meet fear with faith in Leading Philippi, Book 1 of the Paul's Patrons series.
