	The Advocate Randy Singer "Singer proves himself to be the Christian John Grisham."—Publishers Weekly If he could take the words back, he would. As a brilliant young lawyer in the Roman Empire, Theophilus made a suggestion—"Offer to release Barabbas—" that backfired, leading to the crucifixion of an innocent man and altering the course of history. Thirty years later, he finds himself defending another man, this one named Paul. Will Theophilus have the courage to confront the deranged emperor Nero and mount a defense that will keep another innocent man from execution? In The Advocate, legal thriller meets biblical fiction as Randy Singer draws on his dual background as lawyer and pastor to transport readers back to ancient Rome and Jerusalem in a powerful, potentially life-changing story. Randy explains, "Paul said in his second letter to Timothy, 'Though no one supported me in my first defense, may it not be held against them. The Lord stood with me and gave me strength so that the message through me would be fully proclaimed to the Gentiles, and I was delivered out of the mouths of the lions.' When Paul said that no one stood with him, he was probably talking about the other Christians in Rome who didn't testify for him. But somebody would have stood with him: his court-appointed Roman advocate, and this book is his story. I believe his name was Theophilus, the man who defended the world's greatest missionary in front of the world's cruelest tyrant."
