THOMAS: A Spear in the Far East (Witnesses of the Resurrection Book 2)

He doubted.He demanded proof.Then he went further than any of them.What happens when the man who needed to see the wounds of the risen Christ becomes the apostle who carries the gospel to the ends of the earth?THOMAS: A Spear in the Far East is the gripping true story of Didymus — the Twin — the apostle history remembers for one moment of doubt and forgets for a lifetime of extraordinary courage.Thomas is the disciple who asked the questions everyone else was afraid to ask. Who said show me your hands and your side when the others had already believed. Who heard Jesus say I am the way, the truth and the life — and received that answer because he was the one honest enough to admit he was lost.But doubt was never the end of Thomas's story.It was the beginning.From the upper room in Jerusalem to the courts of Indian kings, this is the story of a man whose honest questions led him to the most complete confession of faith in the entire New Testament — and whose faith then carried him across the known world to a civilization that had never heard the name of Jesus.Written in vivid cinematic prose for readers ages 10–14, this powerful Christian biography brings the ancient world to life with historical detail, scripture-rooted storytelling, and the kind of narrative momentum that keeps young readers turning pages long past bedtime.Inside this book your child will discover:The real Thomas — doubter, questioner, and fearless apostleWhat it means to ask hard questions and receive real answersThe moment Thomas knelt before the risen Christ and said my Lord and my GodThe extraordinary mission to India that changed a civilizationThe churches of Kerala that trace their heritage directly to ThomasThe spear that ended his life — and the faith that outlasted itPerfect for:Christian middle grade readers ages 10–14Homeschool Bible curriculum and history unitsChurch libraries, Sunday school programs, and youth groupsChristian family read-alouds and devotional readingGifts for Confirmation, Baptism, and Christian holidaysChildren's ministry resources and VBS materialsBook Two of the Witnesses of the Resurrection Series — a 13-book collection bringing the lives of the apostles to life for the next generation of believers.Because doubt is not the opposite of faith.Sometimes it is the road that leads there.
