Review Quotes
I read The Last Apostle by Dennis Brooke and loved it. My only regret is I finished it in one day and I want more! A fantastic story with an even better message.
Tom Ziglar, Speaker and author of Best-Selling book Born to Win
Emotionally compelling and extremely well written, The Last Apostle is a wonderful fable of hope, faith, and love that left me inspired and renewed in my faith.
Rob "Waldo" Waldman, author of the national bestseller Never Fly Solo
Skillfully plotted, paced and written, The Last Apostle is an engaging read that sets the hook hard and reels one in quickly. In truth, I cannot wait to read the sequel -- and wish I would have conceived of the concept myself!
Brannon Hollingsworth, co-author of H20, Skein of Shadows, and The Guestbook; author of The Truth Is Out There, Ambush, Nod, Robot Dad, and Sundered.
When Dennis Brooke first told me the idea for his novel, The Last Apostle I was intrigued. After reading it, I'm captivated. By weaving history with modern day allure, Brooke has created a fascinating, fresh perspective on the apostle Jesus loved. Can't wait to see where he takes the story from here.
James L. Rubart, bestselling author of The Five Times I Met Myself.
With a weaving of current events and history, Brooke's novel provides a narrative drive that has plot surprises, moral challenges, and thought-provoking character dilemmas.
Dennis E. Hensley, Ph.D., author of Jesus in All Four Seasons
In The Last Apostle, Dennis Brooke effortlessly blends past and present as he creates a world where Jesus' beloved disciple is still alive. Brooke gives readers a glimpse of daily life in the ancient Mediterranean and how the Gospel spread across the Roman Empire. He explores the burden of living a prolonged life, including the challenges of staying hidden in our shrinking modern world. Drama, romance, and humor all come together in a story that's both entertaining and edifying. The Last Apostle is a must-read for anyone who's wondered about the rumor mentioned in the book of John. It's for anyone who's ever thought What if the last living apostle was still alive?
Kim Vandel, author of Into the Fire
A compelling premise, engaging characters, and a well-crafted plot make The Last Apostle a stunning speculative fiction debut. Dennis Brooke is a novelist to watch.
Janalyn Voigt, author of DawnSinger (Tales of Faeraven)
I dare you to set this book down after the first chapter. The compelling premise that the apostle John could still be alive hooked me, but it was the well-crafted plot and strong characters that kept me reading. Put The Last Apostle at the top of your reading list!
Lesley Ann McDaniel, author of Saving Grace
I didn't have to read far in Brooke's debut novel to realize this was going to be a captivating read. Strong characters, who are easy to relate to, and a compelling plot propel this story in a way that simply carries the reader from one page to the next. One for the keeper shelf!
Lynnette Bonner, author of Shepherd's Heart Series, Islands of Intrigue series and The Hearts of Hollywood series
Every so often a novel comes along that blurs the lines of fact and fiction to such an extent that it draws the reader into a world where one questions if what they are reading is true. The Last Apostle does just that by setting an elaborate story of the Apostle John's never ending life as eluded to by Jesus in the Gospel of John. Dennis Brooke leads us on a mesmerizing journey filled with action, mystery, intrigue, and suspense. I just couldn't put it down. Like the main character, John Amato, you will want this book to keep going and never stop. This is truly one of the great adventure novels of the 21st Century.
Buzz Leonard, Missionary
Dennis Brooke draws readers in and keeps them entertained with fast-paced action. Whether describing John's adventures in the first century or the twenty-first century in this work of speculative fiction, the author includes realistic descriptions accented by gentle humor. I found some scenes reminiscent of the Jesus in the 9 to 5 series by master storyteller Dr. Dennis E. Hensley. The Last Apostle is a page-turner for sure.
