The Apostle

A Southern Outer Banks Novel

by Bobby Bryan Goodwin

Some encounters happen in dreams.
Some happen in daylight.
And some refuse to stay silent.

Lem Roberson has lived a quiet life on the Carolina coast—casting nets, raising a family, keeping faith in the small, steady ways that never make headlines. But when the dreams begin, the ordinary world starts to thin.

Coming Soon

A fisherman who knows his name. A child with scarred hands. A stranger who speaks in forgotten teachings. A presence that follows him from sleep into waking.

Each night, the veil grows thinner. Each encounter presses deeper. And as the people he loves fear he is slipping away, Lem is drawn toward a truth older than the church and more intimate than breath—a truth buried for centuries, waiting for someone willing to see.

On a deserted island at the edge of the Atlantic, at the hour when night becomes morning, Lem will finally meet the One who has been calling him. What he receives there will change not only his life, but the story he was born to tell.

The Apostle is a novel of revelation in the modern world—quiet, unsettling, luminous. A story about the cost of seeing, the courage of telling, and the ancient voice that still speaks to those who will listen.

"I don't break people to hurt them. I meet them where they break."
