The Chosen Vessel Series

Picking up after the closing events of The Queen of Kush, The Chosen Vessel Series chronicles the story of the Ethiopian chamberlain baptized by Philip as recorded in Acts 8 of the Bible. Spanning nearly 400 years, Vessel of Honor, Shadow of Redemption, Prince of Aethiopia and King of Kings relate the rich Christian history of ancient Africa by exploring the advent of that faith throughout Nubia and Ethiopia. Cobb uses his distinctive writing style to blend historical facts and biblical truths and produces memorable stories of courage, forgiveness, and redemption.
