Our Lord Jesus Christ said to His disciples: The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few: Pray ye, therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest. (Matthew 9: 37, 38) Best selling Mystery/Thriller novelist Jeff Pate crosses over to the Christian Fiction genre with Calling of the Twelve, the first installment of an exciting and revealing new series concerning the Great Harvest: The Last-Day Apostles. Pastor Roger Ingram has all the Lord?s blessings?at least he believes he does. On his way to visit relatives on Thanksgiving Day 1985, Roger?s life changes forever. Dead at the hospital after a car accident, Roger?s spirit journeys beyond the worldly realm where he experiences fascinating revelations. His journey ends at the Throne of God where he comes before the Lord Himself. Confident and bold of his salvation, Roger quickly experiences the terrifying wrath, and also the incredible mercy and grace of God. He learns that he has been chosen to embark on the most important mission mankind has ever witnessed: to prepare the world for the Great Harvest and Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Sent back to earth to wait for the mission to begin, Roger?s ministry takes a 180-degree turn, igniting a fire for the truth of the Gospel. Forewarned of future persecution as a result, Roger and his wife Carolyn are commanded by an angel of the Lord to flee their Virginia home to Pilot Mountain, North Carolina where they continue preaching the Truth. Move forward to April 2003: eighteen years after his incredible near-death experience, and just three days after the unexpected death of his wife, Roger is visited by an angel named Boethos. Called Bo, the angel was sent to help the pastor gather the remaining eleven last-day apostles. After being given the new name of Stephen, the spirit-filled pastor and spry angel set out on their mission. Donning the full armor of God, the missionaries begin in New York and travel across the country facing insurmountable forces of Satan?in both spirit and flesh?that will stop at nothing to destroy God?s plan. But Stephen and his growing band of apostles remain steadfast in their mission, despite incredible dangers?only to be delivered from the depths of destruction. Calling of the Twelve marks the fictional beginning of the end of this age, and the dawning of incredible events to come when the world will witness the omnipotent authority of God. Much like the twelve original disciples, the last-day apostles begin as a band of lost sheep from every conceivable walk of life and generation, but under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, they become the most powerful messengers of God the world has ever seen.

From the Author
In February 2003, I gave my life to Christ and became born again. Ever since, the Lord has given me exciting revelations—one being inspiration for this new Christian fiction series: The Last-Day Apostles. I hope Calling of the Twelve will touch you and be as much a benefit in your own spiritual walk, as writing it has been for me. Additionally, I hope that this series will prove to eclipse the successes of my previous novels.
Most importantly, my goal for this series is to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ, a name for whom every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord.

Stephen, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God. Forasmuch as I know the truth of what you are about to read, felt it wise to convey these things I have witnessed so that many will know of the journeys of our group, now known to men as the Last-Day Apostles to our Lord Jesus Christ. And that he who reads these words will give up his life so that he may receive eternal life with our Lord Jesus Christ. For we were anointed and sent to you by Him, the Creator of the Universe with a mission to spread the Word of God and to prepare His children for the coming of our Lord. It also seems to me that now having a perfect understanding of our mission, the need to write about it in order of occurrence so that you may know the truth.
I want to caution you that many will seek to discredit these words as the ramblings of a delusional religious fanatic. This is to be expected because our enemy doesn’t want the truth to be told and will do anything to distort what is written. Those who do not believe have not yet opened their eyes to the truth, and those who understand, have become of the body of Christ and are the same as I, and have joined in our mission. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

I finished "The Last Day Apostles" the other day and I really enjoyed it. I'm ready for the next one in the series! If you look close you can see yourself and other people you know in this book. It is the kind of book that will make Christians re-examine their daily walk and hopefully cause others to make a decision for Christ!Keep up His work.

A refreshing leap of faith,
By Richard Jones (High Point, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last-Day Apostles: Calling of the Twelve (Paperback)
While reading the Last Day Apostles, you will find it hard to put down. The Author shows us how God works in everyday life from all types of perspectives. I have read lots of fictional, non-fictional, and religious books in the past and The Last Day Apostles gives you a great story to read; however, it also serves as a witness to us all about what really is important in everyone's life.
