Each of the first three Gospels calls attention to the Roman centurion—Longinus—who officiated at the Crucifixion, and it is through the life-changing story of this duty-bound soldier that Leonard Wibberley—author of The Mouse That Roared and a devout Catholic—achieves, with a shrewd appreciation of human motives, a thoroughly fresh interpretation of the Gospel story of Christ’s ministry and Passion.

REVIEWS:

“It is a very moving, delicately constructed novel, with a wonderful feeling for the dawn of Christianity in the Roman world.”—Amazon Reviewer

“... the finest and most moving religious novel I’ve ever read...”—Amazon Reviewer

“I recommend this book to anyone who doesn’t understand Jesus’s journey. It basically makes the book of Matthew into a story. This book is awesome!!!!”—Amazon Reviewer

“It’s a beautiful portrait of a man of 50 or so whose world dissolves and reforms in the presence of Christ. Much of it is Bible-based. A very good read.”—Amazon Reviewer
