This is a favorite author of ours, and this book did not disappoint. The story takesplace during the time of Christ, but is not primarily about Christ. Throughout the book, the main character battles with serious racial bias against the Romans after what they did to his family when he was a young boy. This book opens the door beautifully for discussionabout race, hard work, and taking a stand for what is right even when it feels like no one is standing with you. Demons are mentioned a few times throughout the book although it is referring to the demons of fear, and nothing scary or inappropriate is mentioned.
