Why did Jesus select the twelve as apostles? What did they accomplish after the resurrection? What happened to them? What can we learn from them?
This resource provides fascinating material for reading and discussion with adult study classes during the Lenten season or as a summer study series. Discussion questions are included with each study of the twelve apostles, as well as Saint Paul.
Click writes in a style that makes us feel we can understand what really motivates each of these apostles. While he allows for imagination and comparison with the present day, he doesn't stray from the biblical accounts in discovering fascinating insights into the lives of these followers of Jesus.
