Shi'mon's Journey

By the Author of A BATTLE MORE DESPERATE. Intrigue, danger and romance on a journey leading to the cross of Christ and beyond. Shi'mon's Journey tells a story based on the Biblical character Simon of Cyrene. Shi'mon Ben Shemu'el (Simon) , a nominal Jew and merchant-trader living on the coast of North Africa, embraces the Greco-Roman world, craving commercial success; but his wife, a devout Gentile convert, yearns for a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. Tragic loss sends storm clouds of trouble into Shi'mon's life, confronting him with great spiritual questions. His search for answers drives him toward the pilgrimage he once spurned. Along the way, he endures and intrigue from business rivals, opposition from religious extremists and faces danger from Romans and sea-raiders before ever setting foot in Judea. Once there, Shi'mon's spiritual and physical journey leads to an unforeseen encounter with a weary, condemned man and life-changing events surrounding Christ's death, burial and resurrection.
