The Centurion's Wife (book review)

I just finished reading 'The Centurion's Wife' and I loved it! It was
a truly enjoyable book. It takes place right after Jesus' crucifixion
& involves many familiar people like Pontius Pilate, Herod, Mary
Magdalene and Peter. The authors (it was written by a two) did a
fantastic job of creating the world at that time in history. The main
plot of the book is the standard love story between two people that
have never met. Leah is being forced to marry the Roman centurion
Alban by her uncle (Pilate). Although it is the typical love story
outline they wrote it in a very interesting and unique way. There is a
great message about God providing His Son for all and engrossing
descriptions of the culture, land and peoples. If you are wanting an
engaging and interesting story then definitely try this book.
