Reviews

Davis is a master storyteller and his ability to tell an ancient tale in a contemporary style regularly leaves readers wanting more.
*Dave Milbrandt, author, Chasing Deception*

[Bunn] does something few Christian fiction writers do . . . his stories open readers to a bigger multicultural and multireligious world . . . he always seems to surprise and lead into places readers don’t expect.
*Publishers Weekly*

[Bunn] has sifted through the few facts and many legends about the life of Helena, mother of the first Christian Roman emperor Constantine, and created a story to which readers today can relate.
*Goodreads*

[Of other titles by the author] Davis Bunn has created a thinking person’s Indiana Jones.
*Hy Smith, Senior Vice President, United International Pictures*

[An] imaginative and captivating story.
*Methodist Recorder*

It is best not to read this as real historical fiction, but relax and regard it as a means by which the author tells us some important truths, which he does superlatively well.
