This book was exactly what the doctor had ordered! Ken Gire did a phenomenal job with this story. The characters, the plot, being in the military and the battles on and off the field were all very realistic.
Lucius was the Centurion who was present during the crucifixion of Jesus and said, "This man truly was the Son of God." From that day on, he could not shake that image of Jesus on the cross, the words He spoke and the quake afterwards.
In the crowd of people he recognized a woman, but could not place exactly where she was from. Before he could remember, he was drawn unto her. When he remembered, the attraction grew that much more. He remembered her story and wanted to know more about her and her Jesus.
Sworn to duty, Lucius had to endure battle after battle. But he felt like he could do it all especially when he had Mary and her Jesus at his side. Lucius soon had to wrestle with what happens when he limited Mary and Jesus into what HE perceived them to be.
When it is all said and done, Lucius must find out for himself, whose side he is truly on.
