The Soldier Who Killed a King

I received a copy of THE SOLDIER WHO KILLED A KING:  ATRUE RETELLING OF THE PASSION by David Kitz from Kregel Publications in exchange for an honest review.   This is a standalone book.

This book…wow.  Subject matter aside, it blew me away.  The writing is superb.  It feel as if you are watching a movie, but a 4D movie.  (This would make a great Broadway play)  It puts you in the scene.  You taste and feel and smell.  You are transported back in time.  You get to really know the characters as if they were people living on your block.  You travel back in time to the first-century world and experience it all.

Now for the subject matter.  According to the blurb: A stunning story of Holy Week through the eyes of a Roman centurion.  The centurion is Marcus Longinus.


This story shows the events leading up to the Passion Week.  This is a new take on a story that has been told many times.  I admit to thinking it might “just be another one.”  If you hesitate because of that, you’re missing out.  This is historical Christian fiction at its finest.  I highly recommend it for your collection.
