The Lost Apostle

I really loved this book. It was my favorite read of 2022 (I read well over 100 books in ‘22 and rated several at 5 stars, so, for me, that's saying something) and has earned a spot in my top 10 favorite books list.

In it, Rena insightfully weaves what we know about Junia's story with the stories of other women (and men) throughout church history in fascinating and poignant ways. I love the way she sleuths out pieces of the story from all different directions and then brings everything together in a cohesive, understandable way. Though the work is well researched, her writing style is refreshingly readable. It was illuminating but not dense-feeling.

I highly recommend this book.
