Discover the Untold Story of the Last Disciple to Witness the Miracles of Christ
The epic saga of the Last Disciple continues in this captivating new Christian historical novel
from Kurt Brouwer. Witness the miracles of Jesus through the eyes of one who was there. John, a
disciple of Christ, watched the Son of God sacrifice his life on the Cross and entered the empty
tomb after Jesus rose from the grave.
Witness Jesus Through the Eyes of One Who Was with Him
Years after witnessing the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Apostle John seeks to
faithfully write down the life-changing events he experienced firsthand.
Go back in time with John to old Jerusalem as he describes the fateful meeting between the
Messiah and Nicodemus in which Christ uttered the most beloved passage in the Bible:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him
should not perish, but have eternal life"
John sets down the true story of Christ, contending with those who seek to water down the
gospel message. Accompanied by trusted allies like Emmaus and Avram, John travels from
Ephesus to Laodicea, Hierapolis, and beyond, determined to ensure the world never forgets the
sacrifice and love of the Son of God.
John reunites with his old friend and fellow disciple, Philip, who is gravely ill. In a desperate bid
to save Philip's life, John seeks out the help of Evangeline, a skilled herbalist and healer. After
Philip recovers, a mob whipped up by a high priest of the goddess Cybele lays in wait to attack
John and Philip.
Will violent enemies of the faith cut off the gospel message John carries?
Witness the miracles of Jesus through the eyes of the Beloved Disciple—and discover how one
man's courage can change the course of history.
If you're struggling with doubt, searching for meaning, or hungry to deepen your faith, The Last
Disciple: Gospel of John is the Christian novel you've been waiting for.
Don't miss this gripping tale of courage, conviction, and the eternal power of the gospel!
Book Excerpt
Emmaus took the flask back. “I imagine the people being baptized today will soon wonder
where you are.” He tilted his head sideways. “I know you’ve been sleeping rough all night, but you might
want to sort out the condition of your hair and clothes.” He pointed at John’s muddy sandals. “Those too.”
“Baptism? Today?” John glanced down at his wrinkled, grass-stained robe. He sucked in a
deep breath. “To be truthful, I’m ashamed to say I lost track of what day it was. In my indulgent fit of
temper last night, I forgot all about the baptism.”
Emmaus pushed away from the tree. “We’d better hurry, then. Wouldn’t want to disappoint
everyone. Of course, you wouldn’t want to scare them, either. You know, with your wild hair and your,
uh, disheveled appearance.”
John climbed the incline past the Great Theater, heading north to the road running above the
Cayster River. He turned east until he reached a trail leading to the river. At the bottom of the trail, he sat
and leaned back against a tree just above a little inlet that sheltered a small, gravel beach. His eyes grew
heavy as the soothing sound of flowing water lulled him into a deep sleep. After a time, his dreamy
slumber was interrupted by the breathy voices of little children.

About the Author
in addition to all the usual temptations writers face, Kurt has to fight off the lure of beautiful
beaches, pounding surf, great weather, and lush golf courses. Can you imagine?
About nine years ago, Kurt did a study for his church on the Apostle John. If you’ve ever been
obsessed by anything, you’ll understand what happened. Kurt couldn’t stop researching, digging,
diving into the life of John and other first century Christians. Kurt read books by early church
historians who wrote quite a bit more more about the disciples, but they often contradicted each
other. Further, they never really delved into the daily lives and motivations, joys and sorrows of
the first Christians.
Kurt took all of his research and knowledge, all the insights and details he had acquired and
turned it into a series of Christian historical novels based on research and Biblical knowledge.
The first four books in the series are now available (on Amazon). Here is the series link: The
Last Disciple Series.
The Last Disciple: Crisis in Jerusalem, The Last Disciple: Escape to Antioch, The Last Disciple:
Exile in Ephesus, and The Last Disciple: Gospel of John.
