The Face of an Angel: a Story of Saint Stephen First Martyr of the Church, (Paperback)

<b>What does a man's face look like when he sees heaven?</b> <p>Stephen was a deacon. He distributed bread. He was not supposed to change the world - and then he opened his mouth, and everything changed.<br>The Face of an Angel is a gripping dramatic retelling of the life and death of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr - told through the eyes of the people who loved him, feared him, and stood watching as the stones fell. A young widow who noticed his bread was always warm. A fellow deacon who knew the danger coming and could not stop it. A brilliant Pharisee named Saul, holding strangers' cloaks, who could not look away - and would spend the rest of his life unable to forget what he saw. </p><p>This is not a sermon. It is a story. Cinematic, intimate, and deeply human - set in the crowded streets and tense courtrooms of first-century Jerusalem, where one man's refusal to be quiet about the truth cost him everything, and planted something that two thousand years have not been able to uproot.</p>
