Ben's friend, master-storyteller Ephraim, braves the threat of capture to visit Rome--and his story of the Good Samaritan helps Anna and Justin make a difficult choice. With Nero's soldiers searching everywhere, Ben, Helena, and the kids help Ephraim escape through the catacombs. Amid the excitement, his vivid stories recount Jesus' parables of the Sower and the Unforgiving Servant, lessons that bare wonderful results in the end.
