Product Description
Titus: A Comrade of the Cross
Author: Florence M. Kingsley
Written in: 1895
Pages: 304
In 1894 the publisher of this book rewarded Florence Kingsley with $1,000 for writing a story that would set a child’s heart on fi re for Jesus Christ. In six weeks the demand was so great, they printed 200,000 additional copies! The award-winning entry, Titus: A Comrade of the Cross, is provocative, full of suspense and drama. The story of Titus and his crippled brother climaxes at the foot of the cross, where the real hero is proclaimed. The most compelling moment is saved until the very end. It will take your breath away.
"He who sets himself up as his own teacher, becomes a pupil of a fool." - Bernard of Clairvaux
Thus far, my favorite The story picks up new lines with each new chapter in the beginning - much like the more modern stories - a page-turner. For me the end was a complete surprise and my only disappointment was that there were no more pages to read! This story is great because it gives a perspective of Jesus life from a very different viewpoint, yet clearly stays true to the Biblical account. A you-are-there feeling is pervasive all the way to the end with the descriptions given. TX
