Description

Set in the second century of the early Christian Church, Grain of Wheat takes you into the heroic lives of the early Christians. Along the way, it shows the beauty and dignity of the Christian family, along with the power of the vocation to celibacy — a charism lived not only by priests and bishops, but by many of the lay faithful. These brave men and women, both single and married, followed Christ and spread his Kingdom while remaining in society. Through their courageous faith an entire culture was transformed, one person at a time, one family at a time.

This work of fiction draws on early Christian testimonies, as well as more recent historical and contemporary books. It continues the saga which the author introduced in Junia (2002) and Marcus (2004).

Testimonials for Grain of Wheat

Grain of Wheat is the best book of this type that I have ever read, a rare combination of fine prose and greatly moving narrative, all of it built upon massive knowledge of the late Roman world, the Early Church, and Sacred Scripture. I recommend it highly.
