The Second Generation: Church Leaders After the Apostles examines the lives of John Mark, Timothy, and Titus -- three men who took up the work started by Peter, James, John, and Paul. This study looks at the relationships these men had with the leaders who came before them, and how those relationships shaped them into the next generation to share the Gospel.

Though James, the Brother of Jesus began his life doubting the messiahship, he ended with a strong confidence and a great social conscience towards the needy of body and soul. He became the most visible of the leaders of the Jerusalem church, a mentor and adviser to the great evangelists of his time. In 2002 an ossuary was discovered in Israel allegedly containing the remains of James. This discovery led to a renewed interest in this rather obscure person and his contributions to early Christianity, and this book covers biblical references, commentaries, and other research on this man who exercised great humility towards God and his fellow Christians accompanied with a great zeal towards the salvation of the lost souls of his generation. "My friends, if any followers have wandered away from the truth, you should try to lead them back. If you turn sinners from the wrong way, you will save them from death" (James 5:19-20a).
