The final book of Francine Rivers' Sons of Encouragement series, The Scribe, is probably my favorite.
The Scribe follows a person we really don't know that much about: Silas. The book itself follows his view of Paul's ministry from mid-end of Acts, and to me, it is fascinating.
I loved the storytelling of this novella, as short as it is. My favorite part is her suggestion of Silas' possible other appearances in the Bible: as the rich young ruler who challenged Jesus, one of the two men walking the road to Emmaus after Jesus' crucifixion... maybe even the writer of Hebrews. Who knows? We don't... but God does. It'll be fun to figure out one day. As it is, it was fun to consider that possibility through this Biblical fiction.
If you love Francine Rivers, or anything having to do with the early church, this is a great read! Click here to find it on Amazon!
