The Robe

So I read an amazing book. It is by far the best book I have ever read. It is called the robe and it is by LLOYD C. DOUGLAS. I love the book. It made me so grateful to live in a day in age where we can be Christians and talk freely about our beliefs. Reading the book made me gain courage to talk about my beliefs no matter the consequence. If you have not read the Robe, you should... wait, no you have to:) Here is the Picture & summary of the book:

Marcellus Galleo is a wealthy young officer in Rome. His sister (a beautiful young woman), his father (a senator), and himself have recently denounced or offended Prince Gaius, who rules Rome in the absence of his uncle, Emperor Tiberius. Gaius uses his authority to have Marcellus' commission activated and sends him to the worst post in the Empire, the one the locals call Gaza, in Palestine.
Diana (a friend of Marcellus's sister) is in love with Marcellus, and is finally able to persuade her grandfather, Emperor Tiberius, to rescind Marcellus' orders. But it is too late. Marcellus has had to carry out one duty that he could not handle emotionally or mentally. He had to be in charge of the crucifixion of a man he was certain was innocent. This Galillean seemed to be hated by the local religious leaders who were able to convince their Roman leader to put this Jesus to death. Marcellus, drunk at the scene of the crucifixion, won the robe the Galillean wore with his high toss of the dice. Later that evening he donned the robe on a dare. His mind snapped.
Demetrius is Marcellus' Greek slave and friend. Against orders he keeps that special robe and hides it from his master. Marcellus receives his orders to return to Rome. He does, but is a sick man. Demetrius and Marcellus find themselves on a journey to heal them physically, mentally, and spiritually. They learn more of this strange, innocent Gallilean and his followers. They each discover the path they must take in order for their lives to be important to themselves and others.
