Moments Til Midnight by Brent Crowe



Here is the book summary:
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

In the biblical letter of 2 Timothy, the apostle Paul reflected on his passing life. It was but a vapor. He was a pilgrim, passing through this life and into the next. Moments 'til Midnight creatively peels back the curtain of Paul's final hours. Author Brent Crowe imaginatively retells the last twelve hours of Paul's life, from the perspective of the apostle himself. Along the way, readers will be encouraged to live with purpose, to redeem the time, and to embrace the awesome reality that they too are on a sacred journey.

With no more letters to write, no more churches to plant, no more sermons to preach, and no more missionary journeys to embark upon, Paul awaited his death sentence. What were his final reflections on life? How did he view the race he had run? How should you view the race set before you?

And now, my review:
Moments ‘Til Midnight by Brent Crowe is a fictitious account of what this author thinks the last 12 hours of Paul’s reflective life would have been.  Insights from Scripture were woven into the themes in each chapter.  I felt that even though this was fiction, the author had a wonderful grasp of Paul’s heart for people, for believers in the church.  I would recommend this book to individuals who are looking to expound on the Scriptures that Paul has written in an entertaining and count-down fashion of the last hours of his life. 

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
