The Centurion’s Wife

Acts of Faith, Book 1

By: Janette Oke, Davis Bunn

Narrated by: Susan Lyons

Three-time Christy Award winner Davis Bunn collaborates with Janette Oke to evoke the tumult of first-century Judea in the wake of Christ’s crucifixion.

Although she prefers service in Pontius Pilate’s palace to a loveless marriage, Leah is betrothed to a Roman centurion. Before he can have Leah, however, he must go on a secret mission. But when a rabbi’s missing body sends Leah and Alban after the same answers, what they discover could change all they hold dear.

Critic reviews

"Fans of these popular authors will love their joint effort imagining and animating the context of Christianity's birth." ( Publishers Weekly)

was a great book

I enjoyed the book very much. I do wish it went into their lives together more.

Loved loved loved it!

I have read this book before in paperback and enjoyed it so much that I wanted it in audio as well. I think the story is so much better than either of the authors has ever written on their own. I love the characters. I love the spiritual content. Even though the narrator doesn’t do much with voices, I still enjoyed her reading of the book.

Such a Wonderful Book !!!

This Author and Narrator pull You in from the Very Beginning! Fantastic Strong Characters and Wonderful naration !! Can't say enough about this Book !! A Must Read !!

The Effects of the Roman empire.

Loved it. I gained a new perspective on those present during the time of the crucifixion and the ascension of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Excellent story line

It took me a while to figure out where the story line was placed even though I know the Bible very well. Excellent job of story telling! I won’t spoil the story other than to say, it gave me a whole new look at the time after Jesus’ resurrection and before Pentecost. From a Gentile/ Roman POV. If it may seem a bit confusing at the beginning, keep on reading. The final result is worth the effort. I was in tears at the end. A very satisfying conclusion!
