Book Cover & Preview Text
I have often wondered what brings individuals to the point when they make decisions that would alter the course of their current history. As I have gone throughout this world, listened to news-broadcasts and seen history in the making in such places as Sarajevo, Baghdad, and Kabul, I often hear of individuals making critical decisions. Sometimes these decisions end in tragedy. Other times, these decisions bring about healing and new beginnings. I have seen Soldiers risk life and limb for one another. I have witnessed individuals sacrifice comfort of life in order to support causes more noble than their own. Why are people so moved to conduct such selfless acts? What brings an individual to make that kind of choice?

About the Book
If you look into Scriptures, you will see main characters who are supported by a chorus of minor characters. John took up the challenge of examining one of those minor characters - the Centurion at the Cross. As part of that challenge, John also developed devotional thoughts - giving the reader opportunities for reflection. What drives decisions and what motivates people is essentially the same throughout human history. As you take a look into the life and times of the Centurion at the cross, the challenge is for you, the reader, to examine your thoughts and emotions regarding this Christ.
