Amon's Mission - by Arnold Ytreeide (Paperback)

About the Book

"Jesus has ascended, Saul has seen the light, and the Church is now well organized in Jerusalem. So now sixteen-year-old Amon-son of Jotham and Tabitha-has a mission to get on with his own life. But every time he thinks he's getting close, one of the apostles needs help with something, some Roman decides to stir up trouble, or tragedy strikes his own family. It's terribly frustrating and makes it seem as if Amon will never have a normal life. What he doesn't realize is . . . he's an eyewitness to some of the most exciting times in the life of the young church. Like most Christians today -who read the New Testament and don't really understand the meaning behind all the events it describes- Amon doesn't understand that God has a reason for everything and ultimately uses circumstances as blessings. Perfect for family read-alongs or individual enjoyment at any time of year, this story covers the events in Acts 8-12"--

Book Synopsis

A great way for the whole family to experience the expansion of the Christian church!
Sixteen-year-old Amon has been part of some incredible things in his short life, especially in the last three years. Jesus has ascended to heaven, Saul has seen the light, and the church in Jerusalem is now well organized. It's finally time to make his own life his most exciting mission.
But every time Amon thinks he's getting close to being able to build a family and a future, something gets in the way. One of the apostles needs help with something. A Roman tries to stir up trouble. His father volunteers him for something without asking. Amon is becoming convinced that he will never have a normal life. But maybe a normal life isn't part of God's plan for him after all.
What Amon doesn't realize is that he's an eyewitness to some of the most thrilling times in the life of the early church. He's about to learn that God has a reason for everything and will turn Amon's challenging circumstances into blessings.
Arnold Ytreeide's beloved characters from his hugely popular Christmas and Easter series are back in this story set within Acts. Full of adventure, friendship, and exciting biblical history, Amon's Mission is perfect for families to read together at any time of year, bringing the setting of the New Testament to vivid life.
