Why Read The Apostles and Me?
A 5-Star Readers' Favorite Award Winner!
 
In The Apostles and Me, Deacon Wally Calabrese invites you to encounter the apostles not as distant saints locked in stained glass, but as real, flawed, faithful people—men and women whose stories are surprisingly familiar. These weren’t superheroes of faith. They doubted, stumbled, questioned, and yet were called by Christ to greatness.
 
By drawing personal and prayerful connections between his life and theirs, Deacon Wally shows how you too share in their journey—from fear to faith, from weakness to witness. Getting to know the apostles helps us recognize how God calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things—not despite their humanity, but through it.
 
Whether you’re a cradle Catholic, a seeker, or someone desiring a deeper friendship with Jesus, this book will meet you where you are—and call you forward. It’s not a history lesson. It’s an invitation to relationship, transformation, and purpose.
