WHO WAS THE CENTURION THAT PIERCED CHRIST'S SIDE, AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
RIVETING HISTORICAL SUSPENSE FICTION SET IN THE FIRST CENTURY A.D.
The life of Deucalion Quinctus, Commander of the Garrison under Pontius Pilate, is changed forever by the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, by his sudden love for the beautiful outcast, Esther, and by a bundle of parchments given to him by a mysterious stranger.
Events surrounding the Christos trigger an avalanche which threatens empiresthe relentless guilt of Pilate, the frightening ambition of Herod, the uncertain future of Caiaphas, the violent madness of Saul of Tarsus, and the guiding hand of the Watcher, Uriel. Yet, over it all the tenacious love of God weaves a remarkable tale of spiritual power and inspiration.
This compelling historical suspense novel full of mystery brilliantly pictures dramatic spiritual conflicts in first-century Israel; webs of religious and political intrigue that have world powers wavering on cliff's edge.
First book in the Giants in the Earth trilogy, exciting spiritual thrillers spanning two thousand years. Perfect for fans of Joel Rosenberg, Angela Hunt, and Bodie Thoene.
˃˃˃ A RABBINIC STORYTELLER
If the best stories are based upon the mortal conflict between spiritual forces of good and evil, The Master's Quilt lays out the battle plan in a rich tapestry of character and plot. Michael Webb has spent the time necessary to research and portray this fight with the integrity of a rabbinic scholar in a fast-paced novel. Those interested in reading a book steeped in knowledge of present day supernatural events linked to the dynamic early days of the New Testament church will enjoy this story.

˃˃˃ IF YOU LOVE CHRISTIAN FICTION FROM TED DEKKER, RANDY ALCORN, PAUL YOUNG, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO GET A REAL TREAT WITH THE MASTER'S QUILTFor some who love to get lost in a great novel, there are just not enough great writers working in Christian Fiction . . . The really good news is that I have found an author you probably don't know anything about . . . Michael Webb brings so much more than just nail-biting action to the stage. He has an amazing knowledge of history and the inter-relationships of the major players during 1st Century AD. He weaves tales of deceit and manipulation that provide us one view of what might have been going on behind the scenes as Pilate, Saul of Tarsus, Herod Antipas, Caiaphas and others battled for power.
There is seemingly never ending stream of specific anthropological, cultural, and religious insights that help us to see more clearly what the struggle between Rome, the Jews, and the new Christians was really all about. Add the spiritual realm to the equation to complete a tapestry that keeps you guessing throughout the work . . .
Above, I compared Michael Webb to some huge authors. He is actually a better writer than Young or Dekker. His story lines are equal to any of the three. His research is as good as Alcorn. I'll give Alcorn an edge on writing, but not by much.
