Who was the last man to see Christ alive - and the only one entrusted with His Mother? From the shadows of Golgotha to the storm-swept shores of Patmos, Beloved Disciple: Guardian of the Holy Virgin unravels one of the most mysterious and powerful stories of early Christianity. Saint John the Theologian. The only apostle who stood at the Cross. The one who outran Peter to the tomb. The one who never died. In this gripping, cinematic retelling, Saint John is more than a Gospel writer - he is a man on the run, a secret guardian, and the keeper of a divine promise. After Christ entrusts him with the care of His Mother, John disappears from the public eye, only to resurface in fragments - shipwrecked, exiled, hunted by sorcerers and emperors, surviving poison and boiling oil, and ultimately vanishing from his own tomb. What happened in those hidden years? Where did he go with the Virgin Mary? And what secrets did he seal away in the Revelation he received on a desolate island? Drawing from ancient Christian tradition, Orthodox hymnography, and scripture, Beloved Disciple is both a heart-pounding historical drama and a mystical journey into the early Church. It explores the deep bond between John and the Mother of God, the battles he faced against darkness and deception, and the veiled moments that shaped the faith of generations. Follow the trail of miracles and mysteries: - A pagan temple reduced to rubble by a single word - A cup of deadly poison turned to harmless water - A man chased by angels through fire and storm - A disciple who speaks with the voice of thunder, yet vanishes without a trace For readers of historical fiction, spiritual adventure, and biblical thrillers, Beloved Disciple: Guardian of the Holy Virgin opens a portal to a forgotten world - where the line between heaven and earth blurs, and one man's unwavering love changes history. The last eyewitness has something to tell you. Are you ready to listen?
