Simon of Cyrene - Softcover

With one careless stroke of his sword, Simon of Cyrene goes from being a promising candidate for the Roman Legion to being a wanted murderer-a man who has killed a friend, a comrade in arms...and the Roman consul's nephew. Simon flees into the desert, staying only a step ahead of his most avid pursuer-the Legionnaire who trained him and now is out for his blood. Simon's sojourn takes him, ultimately, to Jerusalem and to the foot of a cross on Golgatha.

Meredith Glenn spent five years researching the founding of Christianity before writing Simon of Cyrene. Meredith resides in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico with his wife, and has lived and worked in five continents, including the Middle East. He is presently working on his next novel.
