Paulette Sizemore's Newly Released "The Young Roman Soldier" is a Moving Historical Novel About a Roman Soldier Who Learns the Truth About 'The Christ'
"The Young Roman Soldier" from Christian Faith Publishing author Paulette Sizemore is an engaging, gut-wrenching novel starring Marcus, a boy in biblical times who grows up remembering the stories told to him by his father, a Roman soldier who had participated in the slaughter of Jewish infants during the time of the Christ prophecy--but as Marcus grows to find himself as a young Roman soldier kneeling at the feet of the Messiah's bloodied cross, he comes to understand the truth about this holy man that will change his life forever.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Oct. 05, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Young Roman Soldier": an enticing historical novel from a unique perspective. "The Young Roman Soldier" is the creation of published author Paulette Sizemore, a passionate born-again believer, poet, and writer who with her husband of forty-eight years has three children, eight grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
Sizemore shares, "I will say that, by far, my hardest assignment during my entire tour of duty as a soldier in the Roman army was when I was chosen to break the legs of the Man Jesus, 'the Christ.' I could not bear the thoughts of doing such an injustice to a man whom I knew to be innocent. When I walked over to His cross, carrying the dreaded club in my hand, I was so thrilled to find that He had already died.
Apparently, my father's sissy, squeamish son had been delivered. I did not have to perform that horrendous act. Suddenly, when the soldier who was standing near me raised his sword and pierced the side of Jesus, I became enraged. I quickly realized that was not the time or the place to let my feelings show. My heart was broken when I looked beside me, and I saw the precious mother of Jesus."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Paulette Sizemore's new book is a touching novel that retells the poignant story of the crucifixion from an unexpected point of view.
Sizemore offers the fictional character Marcus as one of the first gentiles converted by Christ's grand gesture of love and forgiveness, a beautiful image to inspire and remind every believer in the true, "Saving Power of the Cross."
