This story will take you to places you have never been before. It will introduce you to people you may know very little or nothing about.
BUT
You will be gripped by it. You will
feel many different emotions – sadness, joy, fear, hope, empathy, tears,
respect, etc. – for the people in the story and the situations they find
themselves in. Bad things and good things have combined together to create a
very difficult and conflicting situation. A situation that certain people are
attempting to resolve.
We cannot know if Demas (as an example)
really was talkative and outgoing. We don’t know if Dr. Luke worked in a
hospital. We don’t know how the runaway slave met up with Paul who was under
house arrest. But we crafted this story as a way to show how it could have
happened. We tried to be true to the surroundings and time-period of the
original story and we have attempted to be true to all the information the
Bible does give us about the characters and the events concerned.
Thank you,
The Authors
