The Centurion's Wife [NOOK Book]

the centurion's wife

This story of the early Christians just after Christ's ascension to heaven was uplifting and interesting. However, the story did drag a bit in the middle, but picked up toward the ending. I liked the story because of my interest in the early Church and ancient history. Don't know how historically plausible everything was, but I enjoyed the premise and setting, and the sweet love story between a Roman Gaul and a young Jewish woman. Will definitely read the remaining two books in the series.

The Centurion's Wife

I enjoyed this book imensely on several levels: I enjoy history and historical fiction, I'm a Roman Catholic, and I have also been to Rome. My only real criticisms of the book are the number of typographical errors and the repeated use of the word 'legionnaires' to describe Roman soldiers. The proper term is 'legionaries.' I found myself wanting to know more about Procula, especially since she was patrician by birth, being a Claudian; and how much real influence did she have over Pilate either as his wife and/or a patrician?

Excellent premise, good read

I enjoyed the story. It dealt with a period not often discussed in Christian fiction. The love story was perfectly muted, while the search for faith was highlighted. This story didn't try to go too far and over explain faith but faith was present thoughout. I have recommended this book to friends and will be looking for more by this author.

A Great Historical Love Story

This book was excellent! 300 pages of a story set at the time if Christ's crucifixion, Leah and Antol find not only love for each other, but also become Christians, following the path God will send them on. The fact that the book was part historical and part fiction made it even better. Made u feel like u were really there with them during this time of the birth of Christianity. I was sad when the book ended. These authors did a great job. I recommend this book to everyone. U won't be disappointed. Vallie

Nicely written. Simplistic. Quick read.

Recommend

I have read my fair share of historical fiction pieces and enjoy this genre for putting a bit of flesh and blood onto people and times. This work by Bunn and Oke did not disappoint. It was historically plausible and an enjoyable look at how the message of Christ impacts lives in any time period. It was especially fun to read this book while I was physically in Israel in the very towns described in the book.

couldn't put this down

everything else went by the wayside while I read this!

Great Book!

I'd have paid for this book! No swearing, no sex scenes, an actual plot, and well-written, to boot! I quite enjoyed my reading this week! Thank you!

There were a few typos, but nothing to worry about. And a surprise appearance by the author about 3 chapters from the end. Didn't change the story, so that was okay, too.
