The Centurion's Wife Audiobook

" It's hard to fit theology into a fiction romance/adventure novel. The theology came across as cheesy and canned in the places where fiction turned into not-so-subtle evangelism. "

" This one was pretty good except that it was about JESUS and somewhere near the end I started skimming because it was all "blah blah Jesus blah blah Jesus blah blah Jesus." Note to self, read every word on the back of the book before purchasing said book. If book says "A sweeping saga of the dramatic events surrounding the birth of Christianity" that means its about JESUS! I did end up buying West of Eden by Harry Harrison but I only got half way through it. I kinda lost interest when the dinosaur lady started boffing the human kid. "

" I usually love historical fiction, I had a hard time finishing this book. "

" I really enjoy historical fiction, so I liked reading this book. I hope to read the second book soon. "

" wonderfully written and an insight to some Bible text that set the scene for me many years ago in Sunday School. I have a whole new appreciation to Christ's death & Resurrection. "

" B; Had to start over to really get into it. Was the tale of Leah in the days after Jesus' crucifixtion. I enjoyed this fictional tale of what may have been happening in Pilate's home and was encouraged by the characters. "

" I enjoyed the story. It was a quick easy read. I enjoyed a story from the onlookers of the Saviors time of the earth. "

" Historical fiction--takes place in Jerusalem area directly following Jesus' death. Interesting perspectives, gave some insights to the political/social structure of the time. "

" Loved this book! Partly because of having travelled to Caesarea and Jerusalem last year, so I could picture what the area looked like. "

" A little slow, but it gripped me from the start. Interesting interpretation of the accounts of Jesus of Nazareth. "

" Enjoyed reading all the history and customs of this era as I've not read much about life during the time of Christ. Did think the ending was rushed a little and would've like to know more about the life of the protagonists as they started their life together. "

" When you haven't read a Janette Oke book in awhile... well, sometimes it good to pick her up again. A quick, easy read, with some interesting insights into the political scene right after Jesus' death and resurrection. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It is a historical fiction and takes place in Jerusalem in the days after Jesus' death on the cross. It was an interesting story and I learned about some of the culture and political background of that time. "

" The Centurion's Wife is a great biblical read that takes places just after the death of Jesus. Once again Oke & Bunn have done great research and developed characters that will be well remembered. "

" This was ok. I didn't get into the book until half-way through. I knew much of the historical details, so I felt like the story was redundant. (The first part anyway). The second half was much better and enjoyed the way the two main characters got together. "

" the book was good. It got a little slow and long in the middle. But it was interesting how they made the events blend into the sotry of Christ. "

" More historical than romance. Interesting perspective of the events following the crucifixion of Jesus. "

" Very enjoyable. It was a good book about developing faith in Christ and learning who He is. "

" Entertaining and "takes you there". Well written. "

" Quick, easy read, not bad for the Christian fiction genre. "

" Just loved this one! Very enjoyable read! "

" Good Christian story told from a different aspect of Jesus death and resurrection. I would recommend and I will read more of Bunn and Oakes. "

" Historical fiction--takes place in Jerusalem area directly following Jesus' death. Interesting perspectives, gave some insights to the political/social structure of the time. "

" This was amazing! Full review coming soon! "

" I did not know what to expect from this book. I love reading history books (the kind that helps you learn without you knowing that you learned something.) "

" It would have been 4 stars but it was supposed to be a romance but the romance part was a little lacking. However, the rest of the story was great and a very interesting read. It is one of those feel good books:) "

" I really enjoyed this book. It is a historical fiction and takes place in Jerusalem in the days after Jesus' death on the cross. It was an interesting story and I learned about some of the culture and political background of that time. "

" This was a really sweet book, it was an easy and quick read. "

" Not as bad as I thought it would be - more historical - less religious. Written fairly well. "

" I could not put this down, the story pulled me in but I was disappointed with the ending, left me hanging and I hope there is a 2nd one coming. "

" This book was great. The history and times of Jesus death and the secrecy surrounding it. "
