Because today is Good Friday I am featuring a very powerful novel I read many years ago. It’s the story of one man’s quest to to discover Truth. The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas was written in 1942, but was still relevant when I read it nearly 60 years later. If you have never read this classic, I urge you to give it a try.
Here’s the first line:
Because she was only fifteen and busy with her growing up, Lucia’s periods of reflection where brief and infrequent; but this morning she felt weighted with responsibility.
Marcellus, a Roman soldier, wins Christ’s robe as a gaming reward. He then embarks on a journey to discover the truth about the Nazarene’s garment, a journey that takes him to the very heart and roots of Christianity, all set against the vibrant backdrop of ancient Rome. A timeless tale of adventure, faith, and romance, a tale of spiritual longing and ultimate redemption is told here.
