Can one man's madness destroy the faith for which so many would die?

A madman who murders his way into power lusts for ever-greater glory and domination. A capital city awash with corruption, sensuality, and political intrigue is at the flash point. And caught between the crushing currents of history are a new but growing religious group known as the followers of The Way.

Award-winning historian and best-selling author Paul L. Maier has created a compelling style of documentary fiction, using only known historical events and persons to bring to life first-century Rome in all its excess, treachery, and insanity. This is the Rome that the apostle Paul visits, where he's placed on trial, and which is forever changed by his testimony and witness. Maier takes readers into the courtroom of imperial justice and into the homes of the people struggling with the new faith they've encountered to answers questions such as:

  • How did Christianity first reach Rome?
  • Why did Paul have to wait two years for trial and was he condemned or set free?
  • Why does the New Testament account in Acts end so abruptly?
  • Who set fire to Rome and why did Nero persecute Christians so horribly?

Following the family of Flavius Sabinus, mayor of Rome under Nero Maier captures all the drama and tension of the political conflicts that precede and follow the Great Fire of Rome, and the epic political and religious clashes of the world's capital. This is the sensational story of pagans at their worst--and Christians at their best. Readers won't want to put it down.

Normally amazing
Color: Spiky Ball (Blue, Orange), Size: Medium
We have purchased these slightly spiky dog balls several times for our very strong jaw heavy chewer dogs and they’ve been amazing. They don’t break down they don’t get torn apart the squeakers don’t even pop out of them. So we ordered another package because we’ve lost a few outside to the lawnmower… oops and the package that got delivered today had only one ball that squeaks and the other does not. THIS IS A PROBLEM ! Unfortunately my female dog got to the new squeaking ball first and my male got to the non-squeaking ball and he was NOT happy. Basically once they claim a ball it’s theirs and the other dogs don’t go near the ball they claimed. So he’s following my female around and every time she squeaks the ball and I’m just waiting for him to attempt to take it from her causing damage to her. Normally… These are amazingly fun, tough, durable but also squeaking balls (that’s rare in a tough ball) that my dogs absolutely love. This time just got a bad batch I guess. When they squeak the dogs LOVE them. After several months of play the squeaker might break inside of the ball but the ball never comes apart or gets damaged. And we as the owners love that they don’t break down are not able to be ripped or torn even by our very strong jawed and big jaw muscle dogs. They are also great for in the house play because they’re small enough that they fit completely inside our dog‘s mouth but obviously not small enough to get swallowed so when we throw them in the house for fetch the dogs can jump up and catch them fully in their mouth so they don’t cause any damage to the walls when they hit the walls. They’re not super heavy but they’re incredibly durable. Definitely worth the price especially if you have heavy chewers or big jaw muscle dogs.

Best fun indestructible toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Yellow), Size: Large
Truly indestructible no matter how much our oittie tries. She has owned it for three months works at destroying every day with no success. She carries it everywhere. Best purchase for chewer, more fun than the popular rubber heavy duty toy. Do not hesitate your pup will thank you for this fun distraction.

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large, Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large
High quality, big toy, perfect for a medium to large size dog. After a few months of serious chewing I had to buy another one, but well worth the money! Rocky loves it.

Great toy but if your dog is an aggressive chewer, please think twice.
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I received this on May 23rd and on June 8th, after playing with this thing every day, our recently acquired 36 lb dog finally ripped it open and got out all the plastic and the squeaky part. Lily Belle will miss you, chicken. Lily loooooved this toy! She'd toss it in the air, chew on it, pull it with her teeth etc. but as much as she loved it, we won't replace it. It's just not durable enough for her. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, you might want to try a different toy. I hate that this lasted just a smidge over two weeks because Lily seemed to truly enjoy this toy. RIP, squeaky chicken!

Great New Addition To The Nylabone Line - Perfect for Hard Core Chewers!
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Large
We've been using and depending on Nylabone for decades. For more than 50 years these toys have been designed with the dog in mind - and to appeal to their natural instinct to chew and interact. Of course there are the occasional flops but they're few and far between. We have two Old English Bulldogs, a soon to be nine year old and soon to be two year old. I think out of what stands now at close to 600 reviews half have to be dedicated to dog toys and canine care products. After all, they are indeed family in every sense of the word and we indulge them with a constant parade of new toys. These new Marrow Barbell bones have been a huge hit. Both our boys have the jaw power to rip a the door off a Hummer and then proceed to shred the steel. Plush and soft toys are our of the question as those adorable little bunnies and chipmunks, even the ones promoted to hardcore chewers end up looking like road kill in the blur of an eye. The Barbell design is incredibly heavy and thick - believe me you don't want this one dropped on your foot. Elvis our youngest can do a significant amount of damage in one long term chew session, however after hours of relentless chomping the bone looks unscathed. Some nice touches are: * Very Thick casting of the Dura Chew material ( the strongest material made by Nylabone) * Textured nubs on the outside are superb for cleaning off tarter and keeping your best friends pearly whites and gums in great shape. * YThe Barbell design makes it easy for yor dog to carry around, providing of course he or she can lift it! So many fly by night companies cater to "aggressive chewers" and more than often we and our Bullies end up not only destroyed in record time - but can pose a choking hazard and other potentially serious problems. I've had dogs my entire life, over 50 years and I've learned that "Virtually Indestructible' is code for - if lasts an hour you're in luck. Some exceptions to the rule are Kong for hard core chewers, Planet orbee and of course Nylabone. We used Elk horn for a while until it fractured one of our dogs teeth, not good. Antler of any kind is far too hard a substance and fractured teeth can and do go un-noticed and can lead to infection and blood poisoning. On a brighter note, the Nylabone Dura Chew has enough give to prevent this - and great lasting power. We have tons of different shapes in the Dura Chew material including the Soupers, rings, Turkey legs and so on. They all hold up and the dogs adore them. Please note, these particular toys are for large breeds with powerful jaws and made especially for the tough, show no mercy, serial killer chewers - canine clients. And if that my fellow dog lovers fits your pooch you can't go wrong with the Barbell peanut butter Chew Toy. 5 Paws Up!
