The Master's Quilt

by Michael Webb

Deucalion Cincinnatus Quinctus, Commander of the Garrison under Pontius Pilate, knew that disloyalty to Rome meant death. He also knew that the official report about the Christos didn't fit the facts---after all, he'd been the commanding officer at his death, burial and...disappearance. He could not deny the truth; neither could he live with it. Now he faced an uncertain road, one fraught with dread and treachery. His military prowess, always so formidable, suddenly seemed inadequate. And what would come of the sudden love he felt for the beautiful outcast Esther? The events surrounding the Christos had triggered an avalanche which threatened whole empires---the relentless guilt of Pilate, the frightening ambition of Herod Antipas, the uncertain future of Caiaphas, the violent madness of Saul of Tarsus. Yet, over it all the tenacious love of God weaves a remarkable tale of spiritual power and inspiration. This compelling historical novel brilliantly pictures the clash of opposing forces in first-century Palestine---spiritual conflicts as dramatic and real as any in the history of the world; webs of religious and political intrigue that have world powers wavering on cliff's edge. 'Michael Webb has an extraordinary gift for storytelling that captures and keeps your interest, making this book hard to put down. It imparts powerful spiritual truths that are especially relevant for our times. The Master's Quilt is a powerful weapon for the kingdom.' - Rick Joyner… (more)

In this book the author tells a fictional story about the man who pierced the side of Jesus at the crucifixion.

At first I found this book very disjointed and hard to follow but I'm glad I persevered as I soon became caught up in what seems to be a real story.

Deucalion finds himself torn between his role in eliminating the followers of Jesus while increasingly believing in Him.

Although fiction this book reads true and gives an insight into what it must have been like for Christians in the early days of the churc. ( )
