This book was written by St. John the apostle, a follower of Jesus. The Gospel of John
consists of 21 chapters. The apostle John was also called John the Evangelist, or the Beloved
Disciple. He was the son of Zebedee and brother of James the great, who also was an apostle of
Jesus. He was called by Jesus to be a disciple of the Lord, in the first year of Jesus’ public

Christ (St. John the Apostle.) He stood faithfully by the cross next to Mary, the mother of God. It
was then that he was made guardian of Mary by Jesus. He built many Churches in Asia Minor.
He spent the rest of his life in Jerusalem and in Ephesus. He wrote his Gospel, three Epistles and
the Book of Revelation, that are in the Bible. He was the only apostle that didn’t die a martyr.

These stopped the tyrants of the church in their tracks and paved a new route for the Protestant Reformation to begin. He had become the savior of religion. He helped hundreds if not thousands of people find God without having to pay a toll.

He was the hero to religion itself, and this is how he was meant to be remembered.
In the novel “A Prayer for Owen Meany”, John Wheelright undergoes a spiritual awakening when Owen Meany is killed. Owen Meany, John’s lifelong best friend, has faith in God and believes himself to be an instrument of God, a belief which John does not share until after Owen’s death.
