Synopsis:
The centurion is a seasoned warrior of Rome's frontier army, decorated for saving the lives of the ambitious generals, yet haunted by the harm caused during the recent battle. His last assignment is, to again, be a body guard for the powerful.
Quickly he is entangled in the security conflicts between Rome's governor in Judea and its religious leaders who want Jesus of Galilee killed for sedition.
The immediate political and religious struggle for control of the body of Jesus propels the centurion to guard his tomb.
My thoughts:
This book is very will written. It takes us into the era of when Jesus is alive and right before he is crucified. It takes on a journey of the centurion who guard is his tomb, and how he came to guard his tomb and the events leading up to that and also what occurred after. I was raised in a Methodist home and have always believed in Jesus and God. I loved this book as it gave us another point of view into the events, and how the centurion strived to do five good deeds to redeem himself. This book was excellent and I would most definitely recommend this book to everyone. Hence why I gave it five stars.
