The Doves of Galilee

This is a book of fiction based on fact.
The author's research uncovered many stories about these faithful and unselfish Apostles of Jesus. Some stories were easy to validate in the writings and works of other writers, while other stories of the Twelve were based in legends and traditions. Therefore, they were difficult to verify. In order to capture the spirit of the moment of early Christianity, the author chose the most dramatic and more exciting stories. In his journey to write this book, he created some fictitious characters to help support the flow of the story. Some of these people lived and are found in legends, but what they did or what happened to them has been lost in time, so the author created their stories from his imagination.
Enter into the story of Twelve chosen men who had humble, silent simplicity. They traveled their known world with a faith strong enough to move mountains, tame nature, and compel angels to sing.
These Twelve embarked upon a human adventure matched only by their certainty in God and His will. Their spoken words echo to this day, for they moved with a love as great as that same love found in the first days of creation. Their belief and devotion in their Lord, and His command, eventually brought them face-to-face with their own Gethsemane and Golgotha.
With surety of purpose and undeterred devoutness, the Twelve Apostles soared the sky as gentle doves, carrying the Spirit of God to all.
