    About this ebook

    This is the story of The Last Supper told through the mind of the apostle John.

    Excerpt:

    John sat on the floor at a low stone table while the other apostles spoke. Candles danced light around them.
    “Did you hear what Jesus spoke in the streets?” Bartholomew asked in low tones to Thomas across the table. “He said ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain, but if it dies, it bears much fruit.’ What do these words mean? He speaks in riddles. If he is to be glorified will he now take his place as ruler over the land of Jerusalem? What role would we play then?”
    Thomas took a hand and placed it on the table, turning to his fellow apostle. “I do not think he means to rule, but I am afraid I also do not understand. He spoke of death, and yet he then told the masses ‘Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor.’ I do not think he would speak of serving and following if he or we were to die now. But then he has said before ‘The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised.”
    “I would die for him if he asked,” Simon Peter spoke from nearby John.
    It had been like this for days, ever since their arrival to Jerusalem during the festival while Jesus rode the donkey over branches of palm. Jesus spoke words they did not fully understand, words that brought fear to the apostles. John looked around the table at his eleven brothers. Their faces were apprehensive, some masking it with jovial talk and others asking questions about what was to come.
    All seemed to feel this coming meal with Jesus was important and pivotal in some unknown way. Tension held between them at all times.

    From the author: I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the son of a mathematician mother and basketball loving father, and so naturally my passion became writing! It all began as a youth when I wrote tales to go with the computer game Oregon Trail, creating stories to go with Jimmie getting typhoid or Susie getting small pox. Oh the fun of younger days... but one must advance. From there I tackled poetry and received a $100 prize in High School for winning a poetry contest. In college I earned degrees in Journalism and Public Relations. Later I married my wonderful wife, Laura, and we now have an amazing daughter that fills our lives with such joy! Just before I met Laura the idea came to me to write a Fantasy story based on the story of Noah's Ark in the Bible. It was a 'what if' tale centering on Maanta, a merboy who descends from people who, instead of drowning in the flood, adapted to be mer people. Because of Noah's age when he died in the Bible that also left things open for me to incorporate Noah in the book as well. Thus 'The Ark of Humanity' was born. Since then I have been inspired by other things and have gone on to write Eden Legacy and Lazarus, Man. Eden Legacy is another Fantasy work and Lazarus, Man is the story of Lazarus of Bethany, told through tale and tribulation. I've joined forces with other authors as a member of Breakwater Harbor Books and am enthusiastic about the worlds and stories to come! My family is my most treasured achievement. I don't just choose to write. Writing is a part of me.

      Dedications

      This work is dedicated to God, for all he has given and forgiven me in my life. I am thankful beyond words for the sacrifice made so that we may all be equal in the Lord’s presence and forgiven. It is beyond humbling. In my deepest darkness the Lord finds and lifts me.

      This work is also dedicated to my mother-in-law, Sally Davis Little Howard, whom we lost tragically last year. I could never have asked for a more amazing second mother. My heart was torn when we lost you, but I find warmth and solace in knowing you are in heaven with the Lord and one distant day we will be beside you in his presence. Sally gave so fully of herself to others and especially to our family. I miss her and think of her every day. May your garden in heaven be just as beautiful as it was on earth, Sally, and may we see your sunflowers throughout our days.

      John sat on the floor around a low stone table while the other apostles spoke. Candles danced light around them.

      Did you hear what Jesus spoke in the streets? Bartholomew asked in low tones to Thomas across the table. He said ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain, but if it dies, it bears much fruit.’ What do these words mean? He speaks in riddles. If he is to be glorified will he now take his place as ruler over the land of Jerusalem? What role would we play then?
