Driven Hearts

When young, adventurous Nik hears stories of a man named Jesus, he is more than intrigued. These stories of great miracles and hope call to him until he can no longer deny that he must leave Athens and find this mysterious man. And so begins a life-changing journey in AD 33. Nik and his best friend, Marco, embark on an adventure unlike any before. Boarding a ship bound for Tyre, Nik and Marco work to pay their fare, Marco as a cook and Nik in the galley. During the long months at sea, Nik and Marco befriend Captain Vitas and his crewmembers, including the traveling man, Vito, and his cousin, Alexus. With ample time for storytelling, Nik and Marco share stories of Jesus and the miracles he has performed. Along the way, the two best friends meet others who are just like them, searching for the man who can walk on water and who has the answers they haven"t been able to find anywhere else. But they also encounter unbelievers who doubt such a man exists. In these times, the young men must witness to strangers in the hopes of saving their souls. Amid laughter and love, illness and danger, Nik and Marco"s faith is unwavering. Although the months-long journey takes its toll and feels endless, they know the end result will be worth the wait. After all this time, will Nik and Marco"s Driven Hearts find what they"re searching for, Jesus Christ?
