New Book Chronicles Persecution of First Christians
Beer Park, Texas (PRWEB) November 12, 2013 -- In “Persecution: What the Disciples of the Apostle Saint Paul Suffered and Endured in Rome” (published by AuthorHouse), author Elpidio Espinoza paints a vivid, intriguing picture of the persecution of Christians in Rome as more and more Christians begin to rise up.
Rufino, Justino, Claudia, Antonio and Silvio are all devout Christians living in ancient Rome where Christians are persecuted for their beliefs. Though times are hard, the group finds strength and solace in prayer, relying on God to see them through their troubling times.
“I want readers to know and remember this part of history,” explains Elpidio. “I also want them to think about the faithfulness of the first persecuted Christians.”
An excerpt from “Persecution”:
“When the centurion finished his remarks, he looked at Justino’s eyes and found the same look that he had seen before in him. Then he looked away expecting an answer, but there was no answer. When he noticed that there was no change of heart, he started getting very upset, and he turned around and looked at Justino’s wife. Again, he looked away quickly, as if something were bothering him. Justino said the following with a broken voice full of compassion and grace.”
