Ananias, the man who healed Paul's eyesight, recounts his story of reluctant obedience. In this fictionalized amplification, Ananias tells how his two nephews were killed at the hands of Saul. He has vowed to avenge their untimely deaths. Then one day while in his olive grove outside Damascus, he sees Saul ride by, a proud defiant man atop a fine steed. But a little while later, he sees Saul returning, bent over and sobbing and blind. Confused, Ananias returns to Damascus to warn the church of Saul's presence. While there, God asks Ananias to go find Saul and heal his sight. Astounded and angry at God's request, Ananias begrudgingly obeys and is rewarded with an amazing transformation in his own heart as he watches his hands become instruments of healing for Saul's eyes.

A moving piece about forgiveness and obedience.
