I Made It!

Well, I'm back in Italy! Every time I come, it feels like I've come
home! No, I still don't know the language, but I love all things Italian and I have no idea why. This was my first trip to Rome, and though we love the slower pace of the Tuscany region, I'm so glad I got to experience the city I've read and dreamed about so much. 
It has been so much fun doing the video readings for The Gladiator's Day of Grace in the historical setting it was written around. I've posted one on the sidebar. To see the rest, visit my Youtube page by clicking on the link here: Jewel's Youtube Channel
I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed making them :-)
Ciao!
About The Gladiator's Day of Grace
Maximus Vitruvius Messalla has learned about the unpredictability of life the hard way. Raised in aristocratic prominence and wealth,
one moment Maximus is a decorated centurion in the Roman military, quickly rising in the ranks. The next, he is betrayed, charged with treason, and forced to be a gladiator in the Roman arena to earn his freedom.
Throughout the course of these events, Maximus comes to question all he has been taught to believe.

Lifted by his love for a freed slave, Maximus follows her to Capernaum where he learns of the gospel of Jesus Christ. After witnessing the healing of a fellow centurion’s servant, Maximus’s hunger for truth grows and his questions about the rabbi increase. He knows that if anyone can tell him more about the Messiah, the woman he loves can. On the shore of Galilee, she shares her testimony of the Messiah, and for Maximus, just being in her presence gives him a glimpse of

heaven.

Over the course of a single day, he receives answers to questions that have haunted him for years. But when certain events come to light that reopen old wounds, he wonders if he will ever truly have peace.

The Gladiator’s Day of Grace is the story of love, forgiveness, redemption, and one man’s journey to discover the saving grace that is available to all of us.
