I completely agree with your review. The author's vivid portrayal of Apollos' journey and his unique perspective on civilization added a richness to the story that I didn't expect. The way the author weaves together history, faith, and personal growth is truly captivating. I appreciated the attention to detail and the clear passion for the subject matter. A great read for anyone interested in early Christian history and the intersection of faith and culture. "The Sun and the Moon of Alexandria" is a well deserved book of the day.

Hi @Antonio Macharia, I just read your comments on the official review of “The Sun and the Moon of Alexandria” by Ray Filby and wish you gave more detail of the story and the comments made by the official reviewer. The goal for forum posts is to prove one has read the official review and to motivate other members to read the book. For example, this is a story about the life of Apollos, a teacher of the Christian faith. Located in Alexandria Apollos decides to go on a solitary trip to Giza to see the incredible pyramids. Along the way he meets members of the Jerusalem synagogue and collaborated with Barnabas and John Mark presenting teachings about Jesus’ life to the Hebron synagogue. Apollos and John Mark cross paths with Paul and Silas in Ephesus and he uses the words of Zechariah to explain the connection between God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. This is a fascinating story that is based on in-depth research, well-written and provides excellent insights about the intersections of faith and civilization. I look forward to reading this amazing historical book. @Mrlefty0706
