I'm Not Useless ... I Am Onesimus

"I'm not useless!" Who said that?
The subtitle of this book provides the answer: "I Am Onesimus."
But who was Onesimus, and why would anyone consider him useless in the first place? What led him to declare, "I'm not useless"?
In this compelling story, author Gary Lewis creates a backstory that sheds light on who the biblical character Onesimus was. Where and when he lived. And why he was a slave in the first place.
In this fictional backstory to the obscure Biblical characters of Philemon and Onesimus,  you will follow Onesimus's transformative journey from slavery to faith in Jesus Christ.
From beginning to the end, the reader will be kept wondering if he will ever gain his freedom.
