Can a believer survive the persecutions of Rome? Centurion Quintus Maximus Varo, a soldier in the army of Rome, fights to understand how his new-found faith can mesh with the heathenistic and demanding environment of life in the Imperial Army. Meanwhile, Simon Peter, an orphaned Ashkelon fisherman taken in by his uncle Lucius, attempts to decide if revenge is ever a motive to pursue a questionable and dangerous quest. Set between 33 and 94AD, To Take On Rome follows the lives and adventures of these two men and their families and friends, from the journeys of John the Baptist, and the destruction of Jerusalem and Masada; to John's exile on Patmos, as they meet and interact with Jesus' disciples and followers in locations throughout the known world. See the events that shaped history down through the next 2000 years through the eyes of the people who were there. Wrestling with questions of family, faith, morality, revenge and forgiveness, these characters attempt to reconcile the same internal and external struggles subjugating our flesh to the guidance of the Spirit, that we even today as Christian Believers, must ponder, face and conquer.
