Generations

Born to a Roman soldier and a Samaritan woman in first-century Galilee, Regulus Fabius Crispus grows up in the shadow of two worlds that were never supposed to meet.As a boy, he watches a young carpenter named Jesus build a chest for his mother -- never suspecting he's just met the man who will change history. That chance encounter is only the beginning. Regulus's extraordinary life carries him along the Silk Road to the far East, into a life-altering pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and onto a missionary journey alongside the apostle Paul, where he comes to understand the scriptures in ways he never expected.As the family's wine and olive oil trade grows, so does the danger. Regulus survives a kidnapping and a desperate fight for his life at sea, battles pirates to reclaim a stolen Roman ship, and after conflict with Roman authorities and Jewish priests forces his family to flee, rebuilds a new life -- and a new vineyard -- in Hispania, where he's named magistrate and must confront a fresh wave of enemies, armed with both the law and the sword.Generations is a sweeping tale of faith, family, and providence, weaving Regulus's fictional journey through real history and the earliest days of Christianity. For readers of biblical fiction who want adventure, danger, and a front-row seat to the ministry of Jesus and the early church, this is a story you won't put down.
