The Gaius Diary
The fifth installment of Gene Edwards’ First Century Diaries series, The Gaius Diary covers the last years of St. Paul. The reader follows Paul as a prisoner to Rome and sees him through his ensuing meeting with Emperor Nero, after which he is released. Through the narration of Gaius, who participates in the story’s events only at the end of the novel, the reader then encounters many of Paul’s followers. Edwards’ writing is simple and easily digestible, as most of his writings are. This novel makes for a good introduction to some of the teachings of Paul and the persecutions of the followers of Jesus. The Gaius Diary is highly suitable for young adult enjoyment.
