First Century Diaries

"The First Century Diaries series by Gene Edwards brings Acts and the Epistles to life in a marvelous way. I can think of no better read for a church planter. " -- Brian Hogan, CPC Int'l Coordinator

"I have been reading "The Timothy Diary." In this work of historical fiction, Timothy tells the story of how Paul mentored him as he joined Paul on his third journey. I've really enjoyed it. Gene Edwards' historical, cultural and theological insights make the New Testament come to life in a fresh way. It feeds my vision for church planting and my love for Jesus." -- Kevin Sutter, CPC Int'l Coordinator

The Silas Diary

Book Description: The Silas Diary - First in the Series

What was it really like to live in the New Testament era?

This imaginative narrative parallels the book of Acts, giving a first-person account of Paul's first journey. We see it through the eyes of Silas, a friend and traveling companion of the apostle.

You'll find yourself shipwrecked in the cold Mediterranean Sea, fighting for life with Paul and John Mark as they grab for something to hold on to in the icy blast of an Etesian storm. You'll discover what it's like to ford a river in a hailstorm only to be swept ashore in drenched, cold clothing, far from shelter or friends.

The Silas Diary is your invitation to join Silas, Paul, and their companions on a journey fraught with danger and adventure - a journey that changed the history of the world. Learn with the first-century Christians what freedom in Christ really means.
