The road out of Jerusalem runs north through hill country, then drops toward the Golan and the long, flat approach to Damascus, and by the time a traveler on foot reaches the last miles before the city walls, the sun of early afternoon in that country has become something to endure rather than simply live under. It presses on the shoulders. It flattens the shadows to nothing. Men who traveled that road in the first century did what travelers still do in that white glare — they narrowed their eyes, they thought of water, they counted the remaining distance in landmarks rather than hours. Saul of Tarsus was thinking of none of this. He was thinking of doors. He carried letters from the high priest in Jerusalem, sealed with the authority of the Sanhedrin, granting him the right to enter the synagogues of Damascus and find there the followers of the Way — men and women who confessed that a crucified rabbi named Jesus had been raised from the dead — and to bind them, and bring them back to Jerusalem for trial. He had done this kind of work before.

Questions, answered
What is the free book, and is there a catch?
No catch. The Invitation is a real book, free, and yours to keep: a complete portrait of this life in about 20,000 words, not a sample or a teaser. It is the doorway. The three volumes tell the life in its fullness, and they are here whenever you wish to go deeper.

Is there an audiobook?
