Publisher's Description
From the lengthy research and pen of two lawyers, a judge and a former law professor, this book, In His Footsteps: The Early Followers of Jesus, is a guide to understanding the early Christian movement through a study of the lives and ministries of the first believers, most of whom had met with the risen Jesus and thus knew, without doubt, that Jesus was the Christ and Savior of the world. The book cites accounts from Eusebius, a third-century Greek Christian historian, who also referenced testimony from first-century Christians about the almost unbelievable courage of the early followers of Jesus, who willingly and fearlessly, despite tremendous persecution and sufferings, brought to an otherwise lost world an assurance of life eternal for all believers. The book also refers to the fulfillment of many of the biblical prophecies, the principal ones being the restoration of the nation of Israel and the return of many Jewish people to their homeland. This book is an indispensable resource for all persons, as the tremendous sacrifices of the first believers should never be forgotten.

“In His Footsteps weaves together Christianity's early history from the fulfilment of prophecies through the life and death of Jesus and the explosive growth of the movement in the first century. The authors do so by meticulous use of Scripture supplemented by early church traditions. Although my personal beliefs differ from some of the conclusions reached in the final chapter, In His Footsteps is a welcome resource for ministers and teachers, and all who marvel at the omnipresence of God guiding his people.”
“Marilyn Phelan and Jay Phelan's In His Footsteps is one of the best books written that equips Christians today with the ability to effectively spread the Gospel with its true purpose and intent, teaching us with insight from those who walked with Christ and others who taught and suffered for his sake. This is a must-read for all who strive to preach the Gospel in its true interpretation.”
“The book In His Footsteps by Marilyn and Pat Phelan is a needed expression of biblical understanding. It is a concise, logical expression of the early followers of Jesus. It is written in a style that is readable and understandable. The Phelans have made a really good contribution to biblical commentary literature.”
