The main characters in this story come from the Bible. I have taken a little known man, Omnesimus, and formed a uplifting, high moral story. He is only heard of in the new testament books of Philemon and Colossions. The Apostle Paul, who wrote Philemon sent this letter to Philemon to help him show mercy to this run-away slave. This is a story that the young will enjoy! It has excitement, drama and love but without language that would offend anyone. I have gleamed information from encyclopedias and from the Internet concerning the area in which this story takes place, gaining information about the climate, agriculture and terrain of the land, trying to make the story's setting accurate while still folding a fictitious story around the main character. I have also talked to a person who has lived in the area my story takes place, and gained information here too. The first few pages start with Omne's childhood in what is now Turkey. Then as a strong, husky youth he is taken by raiders. He is treated, harshly, as a slave and for several months lives in the filthy camps of those who stole him. Here he is befriended by another slave, a lad about his own age, who tells him about the God in Heaven. This boy tells Omne that the gods of silver and wood are worthless! After many months Omne is taken away from this camp and sold as a slave to a man who treats his slaves well. This man had been visited by one of the men who help Paul and he believed in Christ too! One day while Omne is working his team of oxen in a field near the river, he rescues his master's young son from drowning. This feat he did even though he had never learned to swim and this act nearly takes the life of this helpful slave. As a reward for the valiant act Omne is given Martha, a most lovely and sweet young lady, for his wife. With the passing of time children are born into this couple's home. Omne and his family are treated almost like children of the master's household. Omne is respected by his master and the other slaves whom he is now boss over. All goes well until Omne's eldest son dies and Omne can't accept his death. He grows very despondent, and blames God for his son's death. Feeling that all hope is gone he steals from his master and leaves his beloved wife and children. He tries to run away from God but in the process finds that God is ever with him even through 2 robberies and beati

The slave Onesimus is the central figure in the letter to Philemon, but he remains silent throughout the discourse. Studies of the letter focus on whether or not Onesimus was a fugitive slave, and on the question of Paul's intentions for him: did he want Philemon to accept him back as a brother in faith; did he expect Philemon to return Onesimus to him for his own use; or was Paul hinting that Philemon should manumit Onesimus? This study centers on Onesimus as an intentional convert; the first Christian slave whose name we know. Using research about early Christian slavery, slavery in the Roman world, and comparative evidence from African-American slave narratives, this study starts from the assumption that Onesimus had his own motives and aspirations in pursuing his association with Paul, and reconstructs his voice using hints within and outside the text that suggest his agency and subjectivity.

This tale of a runaway slave shows how God pursues a sinner, using the testimonies of godly people to constantly smite the conscience of the slave while he pursues his hedonistic dreams. After succeeding, God radically changes the slave's life.
