The Centurion's Wife

The Centurion's Wife by Janette Oke and Davis Bunn; Started: June 29th, 2010; Finished: June 29th, 2010.

Yes.  I totally DEVOURED this 379 pg book in a DAY!

Wow.  Just.  Wow.  What a fantastic book (obviously I could hardly put it down) I wasn't bored for a moment, I was eager for each turn of the page.

This book is about a young servant, Leah, in the house of Pilate, and Centurion Alban, set in the days after Jesus is crucified and then risen from the dead.

We follow them as they are sent, seperately, (yet are betrothed) to discover the truth about Jesus.  And they do, more so than had been intended.

I don't want to say much more specifically about the book, because it should be read for itself, but I definately thinkit is worth a read, and I am positive there are things here and there that will jump out at me as my mind digests what I've read today.  I am looking forward to the next book in the series that's sitting there waiting for me on the shelf over there, The Hidden Flame, I'm sure it's going to be just as fascinating.
