“You don’t have to go to the cross,” Satan told Jesus in the desert. “I can give you what you want right now. I can give you the whole world!” On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez examines Jesus’ response to illustrate how we can resist the same temptation. Are we looking to gain the praise and prestige of this world? Or will we spend our time pursuing a heavenly agenda that brings an even greater sense of accomplishment?
Did Paul ever reach Spain? Was Peter really crucified upside down? What became of Mary after Jesus' ascension? The Book of Acts ends at chapter 28, but their stories didn't.
If you have ever wondered what the answers to these questions and more about the Apostles, then this excellently researched book is for you to explore the lives and legends of the Apostles.
