We meet the author of the New Testament's third gospel as an adolescent son of slaves. Loukon knows that he is fortunate to belong to Stoic master Theophilus who sponsors the intelligent, medically-minded youth at the university in Tarsus. In his first semester, Luke meets the vocal and passionate Saul who has no compunction when it comes to asserting the superiority of Judaism and of Jews. Luke continues to pursue a Stoic lifestyle in hopes of becoming a man in right standing, but he continues to feel that he is falling short of the mark. As ship's doctor, Luke meets Saul again years after university, although Saul is now a new man; even his name is different. This life changing encounter prompts Luke to pursue another passion: recording history. His meetings with Paul, the other apostles, and even Mary results in a detailed retelling of the most famous man in history, Jesus Christ.Although it is a fictional work, reading it allowed this reviewer to consider the sacrifice and level of faith the story of Christ required of its followers. Luke did not ever meet Jesus and the persecution of the early church was a deterrent to its contemporaries. This work provides readers with a very small glimpse of the life-altering decision to believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and not the mad man that the world says he was. This fictional story gives us a sense of the Author's efforts to orchestrate the lives of men to bring us His inspired Word and the luxury that is ours to have the Word sitting in our homes.
If you like Biblical history like me, you should enjoy this series. Luke's story helps you visualize how the people in the Bible might have been like and how they handled various trials during Jesus time.This story is based on the biblical account of Luke who was an early Christian writer who the Church Fathers said was the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Luke spoke Greek who lived in of Antioch in Ancient Syria. He had become a disciple and constant companion of the Apostle Paul and followed him until Paul was executed.In "Luke's Story," Loukon who is later called Luke, is a Greek slave whose master, Theophilus, sends him to a university to become a physician. There Loukon encounters Saul of Tarsus, an arrogant debater.Later, as a physician, Luke hears tales of a man named Jesus and his miraculous healings of one of his own patients.After Saul of Tarsus now called Paul, is converted and becomes a follower of Jesus, Luke's life changes and he pledges himself to Jesus and decides to write a Gospel based on years of talking to believers about their testimony and listening to their stories of the Jesus's life from those who knew Him- most important, His mother, Mary.Patience Prence Author SCARS: An End-Times Novel

Luke's Story is one of the best books I've ever read. LaHaye and Jenkins hold to both Biblical and historical accounts while adding enough to build the characters and setting. An easy read. I couldn't put the book down. I read all 4 in this series. I recommend this book to everyone!
This book brought to life the physician disciple of Christ. Like the other three books, the book gives all the up to the time of the Gospel writing details of how the disciple came to be among the group who needed to write their account of Jesus. Very interesting, descriptive, real, and personal...Everyone who knows the Bible will be fascinated with the authors' accounts of the lives of the disciples.
