In 2001, Michael Owen and Stephen Payseur were playing golf together. During their play the discussion turned to many areas including religion. After talking for awhile they realized that they knew very little about the Apostles of Christ. They decided to do something about it.
Both friends researched the Apostles and found some interesting stories, most of which they had never heard. They decided to write a book about all the things they had found in their research.
They had no idea that their little, easy-to-read, book would turn out to be so popular.
They were invited to speak at many book clubs, churches, and civic groups throughout the area and the book sold thousands of copies, surprising everyone.
A.D. The Fate of the Apostles of Christ (and Others) After the Crucifixion, has been out of print for over 10 years. In Late 2010, Mike and Steve decided to re-issue the book with some up grades, including pictures, and new cover and other enhancements. This is the result.
It still contains the stories and legends surrounding the deaths of the Apostles, plus it includes others who were present or had some role in the Crucifixion. People like King Herod, Pontius Pilate, Mary Magdalene, and Joseph of Arimathea are included.
This little book pack lots of information between its covers and is an excellent starting point for anyone wanting to know more about the events in the early Christian Church.

Insurgents is a work of fiction in the political and thriller subgenres and will serve as the first installment of a planned series. It is suitable for the general adult reading audience and was penned by author Stephen Payseur. The book follows lovers Cameron and Sterling as their fledgling relationship gets put to the test after a strange online presence starts a movement across the country. Soon they are caught in a deep and spiraling web of soldiers, hackers, and criminals as they run for their lives with the help of a mysterious online group that seems to have a vested interest in their survival.
Political thrillers such as this book live and die on their pacing and depth, something that Stephen Payseur is able to deliver in spades page after page. An exciting and constantly evolving story populated by dynamic and fully fleshed out characters, each of whom leaped from the page as a unique individual thanks to the prose which paints such vivid pictures of these people and the world they live in so that the whole adventure feels unnervingly close to reality. In addition to the challenge of spinning a complex yet engaging political intrigue, Insurgents sets itself the ambitious goal of laying the groundwork for future installments whilst feeling like a complete and whole story in and of itself. This is again something that the author accomplishes well, with an ending that left me excited for future installments but satisfied that the first story in the series also stood well on its own."

Mike O I really enjoyed Insurgents! Do you want some intrigue? How about some romance? Are you into mystery? Want to learn more about the potential of internet and technology? You will want to read this book. Many years ago, a teacher of mine quoted over and over that we study to learn where we have been, where we are now, and where we are going. Payseur's book may provide some of the answers, and if not, it will, at the very least, make you think.
Greg M My friend has written a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat political/cyber thriller that is especially timely as we consider recent events. This definitely should be on your list of must reads in the near future. Be sure to order your copy from Amazon, they will also make fantastic Christmas gifts!
Katherine W I just finished Insurgents and really enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to the next installment. You did a lot of research or maybe you know a lot about the IT stuff. I like the way you alternated between the 4 characte
This is a short but informative book. I have heard about how the Apostles died, but nothing has been confirmed. I bought this book to find out what the authors think. I am glad I did. I think the authors have compiled good information that I believe is true. I enjoyed the book and was happy to finally know something about the Apostles I didn't know before.
