Matthew's Story

The Jesus Chronicles

De: Tim LaHaye

Narrado por: Robertson Dean

The new novel in the Jesus Chronicles, the best-selling series from the authors of the Left Behind novels.

Levi was studying to be a priest, but when an unspeakable tragedy befalls his family, he turns his back on his faith and decides to pursue riches and luxury instead. He becomes a tax collector, disappointing his family and reviled by Jews and Romans alike. And although he is a success, his chosen trade does not bring him contentment.

When he hears about Jesus, the man who some are saying is the prophesied Messiah, he begins a quest that leads him to question his very existence. As he follows Jesus and records His words and deeds, Levi is shaken to the core and transformed. Renamed "Matthew" by Jesus - literally "gift from God" - he is called to give up his work and his worldly possessions and claims Jesus as his Lord.

Matthew's Story is a novel that brings to life the most unlikely of apostles - a sinner turned saint - and his time with the Lord. Thrilling and uplifting, Matthew's Story shows how the true Messiah changed the life of one man, and forever altered the course of history.

Awesomeness read

This story blew me away. I really loved the whole thing. I appreciate this perspective.

Such emotion

Story and reader are great. Every story by this reader is heart warming and believable

Amazing

This was one of the Mose amazing books I've ever listened to. I feel as if I actually lived the Book of Matthew in the Bible! I feel like I know him personally and I also am so much more familiar with the customs of the day. This makes reading my Bible so much more understandable and in depth!

Excellent book!

I really enjoyed this book! It was very interesting & informative. I highly recommend you read this!

Story of Matthew

I’d love to know where some of the information came from. So! Curious. Would love to read more tex.

Loved this book.

LaHay made the gospel story come alive for me in a way that was rich and rewarding. So often we take Biblical characters for granted and fail to recognise the real struggles they went through to live out their faith and follow the Master. Dean's narration was spot on and the story alive with historical color and detail.

enjoyable listen new insight into an old story.

really a nice way to rethink the story and makes the apostles more human. refreshing view of the bible verses.
