It was Richard Trench that said “Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance but cooperating with His willingness.” That’s so true isn’t it, and yet so many of us are reluctant to cooperate with His willingness. Many times we want our own way, which runs in the opposite direction of God’s way. We turn back to First John on this Thursday and examine the words of chapter three, and verses 21-24.
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.
