hazeltine 's review for:

The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas
4.0

This book has been on my list of books to read for several years now, but with Easter approaching, I felt it would be a good time to read it. This is a story of a Roman soldier who took part of the crucifixion of Christ and his subseqeuntdesire to learn more about this captivating man. It had a wonderful message and really transported you back 2000 years. The book gave me a much better feel for the political climate at the time.

I think that the parts that made the most impact on me was the true teachings of Jesus. His greatest disdain was with the people who were living their religion in name only, but held themselves up in high regard and treated others poorly. I think now this is as much as a problem as it has ever been.

Really a moving and thought provoking book.
