Saint John’s Life – Numerous sources (both secret and otherwise) suggest that the Apostle John did not die. The topic became so engrossing for me that I wrote a series of book about it called “The Last Temptation of John.”
During the writing of The Last Temptation of John novels and my (alleged) conversations with the immortal St John, the as-yet-very-much-alive apostle gave me this timeline of his life – it’s fascinating stuff!

Editor’s Note:
We explored this topic in the article “Is St. John Still Alive” which you can read more about here:
