The Pilgrim
-From the back cover-
IN HIS LATEST HISTORICAL EPIC, worldwide bestselling author Davis Bunn takes readers on a journey through an ancient landscape. Travel with Empress Helena from Ceaserea to Judea. Abandoned by her husband in danger because of her faith, but with an implacable will to do what God calls her to, she takes a perilous pilgrimage. Along the way she meets those who would help her ( the wizened and wise bishop Macarious; the rough-edged but kind-hearted sergeant Cratus; the young soldier Anthony, a man who has lost everything, including his faith) and those who would harm her (the menacing and murderous Roman assassin Severus). Miracles seem to follow this humble and determined woman as she wins many over to the faith, and changes lives forever – including her own.
This unforgettable story of the discovery of the True Cross will thrill readers with its adventure, and with its vivid portrait of one of Christian history's most important women.
One woman will lead them...
History and legend merge in The Pilgrim, a tale of courage, forgiveness, and sacrifice. In this story you will meet Helena, historical figure, saint, pilgrim, and follower of Jesus. This slim little novel, only 165 pages, packs quite a message. Through Helena and the others we see how God forgives us of even the most grievous of sins and uses those broken bits to speak to others. Helena's courage in, not only initially starting her journey, but continuing on in the face of her own personal struggles. No matter what she maintains her belief in the vision God gave her and she forges ahead in her mission despite seemingly insurmountable odds. But when things look bleakest miracles begin to happen. |
