The ten short stories in The Centurion and the Songbird retell stories from the Gospels, each from the point of view of a character in the narrative. Stimulating and engaging, these stories read deeply into the biblical story, bringing the Bible's message and characters to life and opening hearts to new, imaginative understandings. Thaddeus, a young man worried about the life of his soul, seeks out a prophet to ask what he must do to earn eternal life. Olivia goes to Calvary to witness the death of her beloved teacher Jesus, whose life is entwined with hers and with that of her husband, Pontius Pilate. Mattathias works for a Roman centurion who seems to respect Jewish beliefs and customs. But Mattathias is confused and angered when Flavius seeks healing for his slave from the troublemaker Jesus. The companion leader's guide includes suggestions for using the stories with groups.
