From the last surviving companion of Paul comes a moving account of the early church in its most perilous hour.
Written in the voice of Gaius-the final survivor among the men trained by Paul-The Gaius Diary continues the story that began at Pentecost and traces the turbulent years leading to Rome's darkest persecution.
Through vivid, reflective storytelling, Gene Edwards draws readers into the first century, where believers faced imprisonment, exile, and death for their faith. The narrative follows Paul's imprisonment in Rome, his confrontation with Nero, and the devastating suffering endured by Christians across the empire.
In one of the book's most sobering sections, Gaius recounts the horrors inflicted under Nero-mass arrests, executions in the Circus Maximus, and believers burned alive to illuminate imperial celebrations.
Yet this is not only a story of suffering. It is a story of endurance, loyalty, and unwavering devotion to Christ.
Readers will discover:
- A deeply personal narrative of the early church
- A compelling portrait of Paul and the apostles' final years
- A historically grounded depiction of Nero's persecution
- A reflective, faith-centered story of courage and perseverance
Perfect for readers of Christian historical fiction, biblical narratives, and those drawn to the spiritual legacy of the first-century church.
The Gaius Diary is the fifth of a five-book series entitled The First-Century Diaries. (The Silas Diary, The Titus Diary, The Timothy Diary, The Priscilla Diary, The Gaius Diary.)
