Read it! ( ) by in OK
This book is very much worth your time. It will not only strengthen your resolve in the resurrection of Christ but it will also put the implications it has for our own resurrection on the last day.
The Last Sacrifice ( ) by Harriet in Morrow, Ga
Once Vitas was part of Nero?s inner circle until at a feast he tried to choke the emperor because the ruler planned to have his way with his wife Sophia, a follower of Christos. He was supposed to be sent to the arena to die but a group of powerful Romans set in motion a plan that would have someone else take his place while he was sent to Alexandria, with John, THE LAST DISCIPLE who wrote the letter of revelation on Patmos.
The people who saved Vitas believe he has a chance of killing Nero once he gathers the puzzle pieces that they sent to various people in the empire and deciphers them. Vitas doesn?t know that his Sophia mourns his death, not even receiving comfort from her belief in Christos. Damian, Vitas? brother and a slave hunter is looking for John to return him to Rome but Vitas convinces him to help him on his journey to Caesarea and Jerusalem to find out just what his saviors hope he can accomplish to rid the empire of an insane monarch.
This second book in The Last Disciple?s series is an exciting thriller as Vitas tries to stay one step ahead of his enemies while trying to figure out what role he is to play in toppling Nero from the throne. The authors have done such a good job of historical research that the audience will feel like they actually witness the events that occur in the novel. Thus readers will find this book so educational and entertaining they will finish it in one sitting.

Great book - a real "page-turner" () by Ethan in Chicago, IL area
This is a great book, both as fiction and as theology.
It has a really interesting theological perspective. It is preterist in position - i.e. the authors believe that the Tribulation occurred in the 1st Century. The authors do a great job explaining their position through fiction without sounding too contrived.
The fiction is good too (although I found the format of constantly switching "scenes" between characters a little hard to follow at times). The authors do a good job keeping the book interesting and keeping you turning the pages. I look forward to reading the next book to see what happens next.
Not only was this an interesting and fun read, it helped increase my understanding of the 1st Century Church and of the Book of Revelations.
Definitly strongly recommended.
