I admit when I agreed to read this book I didn't have a clear understanding of what I was getting myself into.

Book Description

The man they called Barabbas has come a long way from the wretched prisoner released by Pontius Pilate in lieu of Jesus of Nazareth. He and his wife Chanah are growing in regard among the leadership of Christ’s fledgling church, which is expanding and thriving.

But increasing Christian influence breeds jealousy among several Roman governors and senators. How will Emperor Nero react? Can the apostle Paul soothe the moody young ruler and help the valiant Roman saints continue to spread the Word?

The Parthian Empire also poses threats, including in Eastern Africa, where the former centurion Cornelius has become a prominent Christian leader. Will the Christians need to flee, or must they fight both the Romans and the Parthians?

About M.D. House

M.D. House enjoyed a successful first career in the mysterious world of Corporate Finance, but creating and telling stories (and NOT about Finance) was his true love. His first full-length novel was a sci-fi work called "Patriot Star." His second was historical fiction about the life of Barabbas, titled "I Was Called Barabbas." Sequels to both are coming soon.

Writing isn't just fun for him, it's an important way to share his passion, beliefs, and vision with family, friends, and anyone else who loves great storytelling with powerful human perspective and emotion.

My Thoughts

When I agreed to read this I wasn't sure what I was getting into or what I expected. Having grown up in church my entire young adult life I was rather fascinated by this book.

This book though the second in a series did live me a wee bit confused I found it quite interesting. I did have to go back and do a little research as some of my old church teachings have left me. It was really a unique spin to see where this biblical person went on to be.

It was a good book and really made me think. Overall I enjoyed it and realized I really need to delve deeper into my Bible as many of the things I learned as a child has left me and this book made me realize that.
