In this book, an entire chaper is devoted to each of Jesus' apostles, including Matthias, successor to Judas Iscariot. J. Ellsworth Kalas draws from Scripture as well as historical writings and tradition to paint a portrait of each apostle as a servant in ministry, a human being, and an individual. Chapter titles include Andrew, a Brother; Peter: Man of Action; James: Unfulfilled Leader; Philip, the Deliberate; James, the Less; Simon, the Zealot; Thaddaeus, the Questioner; Judas: The Value of a Dollar; John: Love and Thunder; and Matthias: Holy Substitute. Each chapter features a key passage of Scripture. At the end of the book is a 16-page study guide.
