Hold the Faith
Part 1 of the Apostle John series
What if the Apostle John had married?
Would he have been like Benjamin, with his challenges?
As Benjamin has discovered, it's not easy being the great-grandson of the last living Apostle.
Every mistake is noticed.
He worries that he should be more involved with his father's business in the Ephesus market, but he enjoys his work as a scribe for his great-grandfather.
Overjoyed to be asked, he accompanies the Apostle John on a two-year trip visiting the Churches of Revelations.
The experiences are challenging, and some are uplifting.
On his return to Ephesus, he is more mature and is ready to marry Deborah.
He has everything planned, the bride price, a good wage and has prayed for favor.
But things go wrong and a chance meeting with a group of strangers has a devastating impact.
He leaves Ephesus in anger and despair after Deborah's father cruelly rejects him.
Bitter, he questions his faith.
Will his flight help him decide on his future?
Or will it take him further from God?
