Gaius Cassius Longinus, a battle-hardened centurion, pierces the side of Jesus Christ on the cross, unleashing a miracle that restores his failing sight and shatters his cynical heart. Haunted by guilt and pursued by Rome's wrath, Longinus flees Jerusalem, carrying the Spear of Destiny-a relic of divine power coveted by a dangerous cult.\u003cbr\u003eGuided by Livia, a Jewish follower of Jesus whose forbidden love becomes his salvation, Longinus journeys from Golgotha's blood-soaked hill to Cappadocia's austere monasteries. As his former protégé, Marcus, hunts him relentlessly, Longinus grapples with faith, forgiveness, and the violence of his past. His path to redemption demands a martyr's courage, transforming a soldier's sin into a saint's legacy.\u003cbr\u003eNathaniel Haselton's debut novel blends gritty historical realism with profound spiritual depth, weaving a tale of love and sacrifice in the early Christian world. Perfect for fans of The Robe and Ben-Hur, Saint Longinus and the Spear of Destiny is a gripping journey of one man's quest for grace amidst an empire's brutality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathaniel Haselton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798282849660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Nathaniel Haselton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46974703927551,"sku":"9798282849660","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6405f6f-3efe-471d-b106-4d44ff968c33.jpg?v=1750875814","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saint-longinus-and-the-spear-nathaniel-haselton-9798282849660","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
