The Apostle - by Bobby Bryan Goodwin (Paperback)

About the Book

When a coastal fisherman begins encountering visions that refuse to remain in dreams, he is drawn toward a revelation that tests his faith and alters the course of his life.

Book Synopsis

Lem Roberson has lived a quiet life on the Carolina coast, fishing, raising a family, and keeping faith in the small, steady ways that never make headlines. But when the dreams begin, the ordinary world starts to thin. A stranger appears on his fishing boat at dawn. A child with scarred hands builds castles in the sand. A fisherman mends nets on a forgotten dock. A waitress knows things she should not know. A voice speaks words buried for two thousand years.

Each night, the veil grows thinner. Each encounter presses deeper. As those who love him most-his wife, his daughter, his priest-struggle between faith and fear, Lem is drawn toward a truth older than the church and more intimate than breath, buried for centuries and waiting for someone willing to see.

On a deserted island at the edge of the Atlantic, at the hour when night becomes morning, Lem will finally meet the One who has been calling him. What he receives there will change not only his life, but the story he was born to tell.

The Apostle is a novel of revelation in the modern world-quiet, unsettling, luminous. It is a story about the cost of seeing, the courage to speak, and the ancient voice that still calls to those who will listen.
