It's 56 AD, twenty-six years after Christ's death and resurrection. Eutychus, a young man from Troy falls asleep during one of Paul's sermons and tumbles from the balcony. He's taken up dead but is soon revived. From there, he decides it's time to leave Troy and travel with Paul and his companion Silas to Judea, the land of Jesus. During his travels, Eutychus meets many other lesser-known Bible characters. Finding he has a talent for writing, Eutychus begins to write a book that tells their stories, as well as his own. His journeys take him from Jerusalem, up around the Sea of Galilee, and back to Jerusalem again. Along the way he meets a shepherd who saw the baby Jesus, a rich man who has decided to turn his life around by being generous to others, a former leper who turned around to say thank you, a man who once was lame but now leaps for joy, and many, many others. Back in Jerusalem, Eutychus boards an ill-fated ship that is taking Paul to Rome. Will the ship make it?
