Description

A Roman centurion commands men, enforces law, and speaks with authority. But what happens when he meets a man whose power flows not from fear, but from mercy?

In the occupied lands of Galilee, Marcus has seen everything Rome has to offer, discipline, conquest, and control. He believes in order, in strength, and in the chain of command. But when a servant he values as a son falls sick beyond the help of Roman medicine, Marcus turns to an unlikely source: a Jewish teacher known only by rumor.

What begins as a desperate plea becomes a journey of unraveling. The teacher heals without touch. Speaks with clarity and grace. Carries the weight of kings without raising a sword. And when the Empire decides to crush him, Marcus must stand at the edge of justice and faith, and choose which voice he will obey.

A Day in the Life of a Roman Centurion is a moving, character-driven exploration of one soldier's encounter with Jesus, and how power, when placed in the hands of truth, can become something redemptive. Through vivid storytelling, emotional depth, and spiritual honesty, author Richard Miller reveals what it means to kneel not in defeat, but in belief.

Book Four in the A Day in the Life: Encounters with Jesus series.

For readers of biblical fiction, Christian historical novels, and those drawn to the stories of transformation found in the margins of the Gospels.
