Description
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. The 12 brave men Jesus picked to spread the word of his resurrection and of the one God were regular men, fishermen, brothers, husbands and fathers, tax collectors- men who knew Jesus and had seen his deeds and believed in him. They were given the mission to spread the word across the known world- a world filled with non-believers and ruthless leaders. No Roman in those years would have believed that within 350 years Rome would lead in following the teachings of Jesus and his disciples or that by the year 2024 1/3 of civilization would be practicing Christianity. But the 12 Apostles and those who followed succeeded in changing the world. Most of them were murdered, martyred to discourage others, but they all had made their mark. This is the story and legend of Jesus's 12 Apostles and their mission to save the world from itself.
