Veronica's Veil: A Catholic Christian Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781721852543)

Marcellus scans the illustrious port of first-century Caesarea as his ship departs for Italy. He is a young Roman officer, and in his possession is a treasure of unimaginable worth; a woman's veil bearing the image of Jesus Christ obtained on the way to his crucifixion. The mysterious veil has already performed two miracles and is at the centre of a ruthless hunt by the Sanhedrin. It holds incontrovertible proof of Christ's divinity and Jewish authorities want it found and destroyed at once. Marcellus cannot fully comprehend the harrowing circumstances that have brought the veil into his charge, nor of the danger that lies before him. A series of dramatic events will soon reshape his life, and make both his treasured dreams and worst nightmares come true. An interweaving of many lives and many fates is at hand, each doing its part to trace the journey of one of the holiest artifacts ever thought to exist. Set in a time of wonder, miracles, and turmoil, Veronica's Veil is an enchanting tale of adventure and romance; of twists and turns and unexpected outcomes. It is the story of a people caught up in the political upheaval of pagan Rome, and their struggle to celebrate and propagate the revolutionary faith of the nascent Christian Church.
