If you have time for only one book this Easter, read The Centurion's Wife. It is Christian historical fiction with subtle devotional overtones. The novel is guaranteed to hold your interest as people who were part of the crucifixion try to sort out what happened that day. Main characters are Pilate and his wife and their household, Herod, soldiers, guards, religious leaders, Romans and even disciples. The evidence of the Lord's death and resurrection is woven around a very believable plot. Davis Bunn "spent two weeks in Israel, touring the country with a rabbi friend who provided invaluable insight and understanding of the setting, politics, and culture of the first century." Included in the book is a website address for additional material relating to the topic and questions for group discussion or individual study. 384 Pages; Paperback
