The purpose of this book is to help us see what that loyalty and friendship looks like, how it develops. We’re intended to see the men and women we meet in the Bible as examples, good and bad. We find the loyalty and friendship of those around Jesus are imperfect, full of ups and downs. What we’ll try to do is look through the eyes of some of those who proved to be loyal, who stood by Jesus. There are eleven Jesus speaks to in the upper room that night, but there are more friends than these, and we’ll spend time with some of them too. What follows falls into the category of historical fiction.

In The God of the Outcasts, Lorcan Pike brings the lesser-known figures of the Old Testament into sharp, gritty focus —stripping away the polish to reveal stories of survival, tension, and quiet defiance. Each story stands alone.
