About this listen

Millions of readers made the Left Behind series best-sellers. Now, the third in the authors' best-selling Jesus Chronicles is available in audiobook.

This biblically inspired novel, third in the best-selling Jesus Chronicles, tells the story of Luke - the Gospel writer whose belief was built on the power of faith alone. Luke, who hadn't met Jesus, is skeptical of his miracles until events in his own life irreversibly change him.

Pledging himself to Christ, he begins a Gospel based on the conversion stories of believers and interviews with those who knew him best - the disciples who spent three years with Jesus and, most important, his mother, Mary. The result would be a Scripture rich in the miraculous stories of the Lord's divinity, intended to appeal to women, nonbelievers, and the disenfranchised - and that would speak to the heart of Christians all over the world.

Well thought out and researched

Loved this book. Completely plausible and seemed well researched. I read this before the other books in this series, so now I definitely want to read the others!

Interesting and yet

While I find the authors take on Lukes life interesting, I wonder where he came up with the thought that Luke started off as a slave? Where on earth did that come from? There is very little information about Luke to begin with, so I am very intrigued as to how that storyline came about. Is there historical information to back that up or is that just incredible literary license?

The rest of the story is totally plausible, not that him being born a slave isnt, I'm just stuck on it. He could have met Saul/Paul in University, why not?

The story brings an otherwise behind the scenes figure to life for me, whether its a real story or not most of it is, at least from the information we do have.

the vivid descriptions of living in that century

I liked that I forgot it was a Bible book and felt like it was a audible depiction of the members living in those times

Making the Gospel inspired writers real

The story leading to the Bible New Testament describing the author Luke of the Gospel of that name gives life to the writer; not just the inspired words of the Gospel. Excellent!
The narrator was also excellent!

Not Historically accurate

Was Luke's Story worth the listening time?

The story itself was good. But I was shocked at the level of inaccurate history that was protrayed. The research was good on the biblical side. But there was little research done on the historical side. I was most annoyed by the protrayal of University in ancient times. That was totally off base. It made me doubt the rest of the story. It jolted me out of the place I had been in, enjoying the story. Luke's clinic was also inaccurate for that time and place.
