Paul's letter to Philemon is the true account of a runaway slave--Onesimus--whom God providentially sends to Paul, while under house arrest in Rome. There, Onesimus finds forgiveness, but will his former master forgive him also?What an intriguing story This book is an attempt to gain a better understanding of these real life characters. Who was Philemon, other than a man whose home became the meeting place for the infant church in Colosse? What did he do for a living? Who was his family? How did Onesimus come to be his slave?None of these questions are answered in the Bible, so this book becomes a historical fiction: God's account is completely accurate and trustworthy, the author's part is purely fictional, with the hopes that you will desire to study deeper into this wonderful Book called the Bible
