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.
