Return of the Lord: Narrative Reflections on the Apostles' Final Moments

by Michael Creavey

Jesus' apostles were not particularly remarkable men at first fishermen, carpenters, even tax collectors! And yet he said, “It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain” (John 15:16). Little is known for certain about what happened to each of them following the Resurrection, yet ancient traditions abound. What were their final moments like in this life? How did each apostle summon such astounding courage to face trial, tribulation, and martyrdom? What might it have been like when the Lord returned for them as he had promised? Mike Creavey reimagines these final moments in an intimately personal way, inviting the reader into an experience of the profound love that God plants in the hearts of his closest friends.

Michael Creavey wrote inspired, easily readable accounts of the disciples' last days. This book never failed to move me, making it the perfect start to a daily devotional. If you have ever suffered, if you have ever felt the world was against you unjustly, this book is for you. The accounts are moving, and I highly recommend it for those seeking to broaden their spiritual connection. The author tells the accounts of the apostles in a personal, relatable, moving way, and I cannot recommend this book enough, for any faith. Please join me in encouraging the author to write more -- it helped me in 2020.
