The Beginnings of Christianity in Britain - Tapa blanda

It was during the year A.D.36 in Jerusalem that fourteen little known disciples of Jesus Christ were arrested because they were attempting to spread the word of God. The group were forced into a small boat without sails or oars and set adrift to die in the Mediterranean Sea. Instead they made a miraculous journey to France and thence to a small town named Avalon in England. The disciple's leader was Joseph of Arimathea. Prior to becoming one of Jesus' foremost disciples, Joseph was a very powerful man. He exercised complete control over the tin and lead industries of that time. Before his arrival at Avalon he had already established close ties with one of the British tribal kings in the area. But Joseph's only interest now was to spread the Word of God as he had been taught by his nephew, Jesus. He and his fellow disciples began by converting the local royal families from their Druidic faith into Chrisianity.

New author, Harvey Gardner, has had a love affair with airplanes since childhood. Following collage graduation, he started his aircraft career as a design engineer with a major aircraft corporation. The latter part of his working life saw him traveling the world teaching customers in foreign countries how to maintain and operate the fighter-bombers that their countries had purchased from the U.S. He and his wife spent three wonderful years living and working in Iran. They established a warm relationship with one of Harvey's young students, and the relationship blossomed into touring and camping trips around the country. They were also treated like family during special Iranian holidays. While in Iran they tried to introduce the Iranians to their hobby, square dancing, but the only Iranians that showed up were men; they came for the sole purpose of ogling western females. Harvey's interest in things biblical stems from his life-long church affiliation.
