My Epaphras, born in 1975 and named after a character briefly described in the New Testament, hates his "weird" name! Wouldn't you? But only until his dream girl, Teddy, comes back into his life again and everything changes for the better.

"Epps," as he is sometimes called, along with a wide variety of sometimes disparaging nicknames, is a dedicated Christ follower who organizes and leads a small men's group at his church. He quickly finds that the problem with serving people is ...the people! But, despite some, and with the help of others, a terrible thirteen-year-old mystery, and a deeply spiritual challenge, are both finally and successfully resolved.

This book, the author's first novel, is to be followed by three more in a series. Book two is a prequel and is called Epaphras: The Appointment.
