    About this ebook

    The story of Christ spread from Jerusalem all through the world known at that time. The farthest distances traveled on the journey were toward the east, and this was first undertaken by the Apostle Thomas. He reached southern India and reminders of his visit still exist. Over the centuries many missionaries made their way east to the various tribes stretching from Jerusalem through China. This reached a high point when the Portuguese started their exploration in the 15th century. The Jesuit missionaries who accompanied the explorers extended their effort as far Japan, founding with the last missionaries not being allowed to visit the mission in 1641. From the first quarter of the 16th century on the number of missionaries increased as more religious orders began to send their missionaries. Some competed with the Jesuits and others went to areas newly opened to conversion to Christianity and settlement for commercial activities.

    Author

    Joe Abdo

    Joseph, or Joe, Abdo has a background in health care as a lab technician, strategic planner and hospital administrator; college level instructor in microbiology and English as a second language; translator from Portuguese and French into English; acting on stage and in films; and writer.His first writing experience was developing plans for the health care delivery system in Los Angeles and Orange Counties and the west San Francisco Bay area. Taking a mid-life break, he moved to Portugal where he lived for many years. He developed a great interest in Portuguese history and culture and started writing articles related to Portugal. He soon became a regular contributor to several magazines in Portugal and abroad, publishing more than 80 articles.His writing evolved from magazines to books and the first book he wrote was Tram Tours of Lisbon, which described places of interest along Lisbon’s century-old electric tram routes. This was totally rewritten and published in 2014.During a vacation to the Azores, Joe discovered the Dabney family from Boston, Massachusetts. They provided three generations of American Consuls to the Azores in the 19th century. He told the story of this important, but relatively unknown, American family in the book On the Edge of History.This was followed by The Quiet Radical, the biography of Samuel Longfellow. He had been tutor to the Dabney children and was the youngest brother of America’s important poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Samuel was influential in the more radical social and religious movements in America during the 19th century.Joe’s third historical nonfiction book, The Christian Discovery of Tibet, was the story of Portuguese Jesuit Padre Antonio de Andrade. He was the first European to cross the Himalayas to the city of Tsaparang in the kingdom of Guge in western Tibet. Padre Adrade established a mission there that functioned for 14 years. The mission was closed not long after the conquest of Guge by the neighboring kingdom of Ladakh, partly to stop the Christian influence of the Jesuits.Trying his hand at film scripts, he wrote Mary, a story about a freed slave who was placed as a spy in the home of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States during the American Civil War. It was made into a short film and was released in mid-2013.Joe is now making his first foray into the realm of fiction.He continues to enjoy writing.
