Book Review: After Acts

After Acts: Exploring the Lives and Legends of the Apostles by [Litfin, Bryan]I was given this book by Moody Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
This is an interesting book. The author, Bryan Litfin used research found in ancient manuscripts, legends, geography and history to help show what may have happened to each of the apostles after the telling of Acts.
I do like they present possible and unsubstantiated beliefs along with the reasoning behind them. I feel that the way it is written it encourages the reader to look into these people more.
I also found the layout of the book to be logical and easy to read. It starts off with a chronological timeline with best possible dates and dates where the author feels they would fall.
The chapters include recorded events of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Mary, Thomas James, Peter and Paul and other apostles. There are familiar stories, explanations and a report card about different claims.
This short book is an easy and interesting one to pick up and explore
