    About this audiobook

    Behind the men who shaped history are the heroes who forever changed it. The Scribe, the fifth and final book in the Sons of Encouragement series, beloved author Francine Rivers illuminates the life of Silas. Like the other Sons of Encouragement, this book tells the story of a lesser-known biblical character who made an impact on eternity. The Scribe tells the story of Silas, the man behind the spotlight who recorded most of the New Testament Scriptures we read today. In classic Francine Rivers style the story lets readers grasp the Scriptures in a whole new lightfrom a perspective never before imagined. Along the way readers will be captivated by the growth of the early church and the trials Paul suffers before he is martyred for the cause of Christ.

      The bible stories are made clearer in your books and easy to adapt. Thank you and God bless you abundantly.
    • 2/5
      It took a bit to figure out what I didn't like about the story.Than the saying - show don't tell - came to me.Most of the book is Silas telling us what happened. He is depressed and doesn't think much of his contributions. The result is we get the narration of a passive observer.Than there are big chunks where he is telling us about what other people told him about the things he didn't see.The book feels rather flat in its story telling.When it is better when we are in the "current" time. But since Silas has fallen apart after Peter & Paul's death it is the tale of someone who is depressed and feeling hopeless until the very end.
    • 3/5
      This was an interesting Christian historical fiction about Silas, the Scribe to Peter and Paul. It was interesting to read his point of view of the events in the New Testament. Silas recorded the events of the early church after Christ's crucifixion. He was able to give a different perspective as a participant, but not one of the main apostles. The story was an interesting mix of Silas's present and past. I'm going to check out the rest in this "Sons of Encouragement" series.
    • 4/5
      Rivers has written a series of books about men in the Bible. This one is about Silas, who served as a scribe to both Paul and Peter. It was an interesting book, but it was less story and more retelling what the Bible says about this man. Since I have read the Bible several times, I was familiar with much of what happened. I still didn't get as much of a feel for the real man that Silas was as I had hoped. Still, the book was good.
