From the Dust of Jerusalem: The Epic Journey of Simon and his Sons - Paperback

by Brian E. Ernsberger (Author)

One moment can redefine a man's destiny. For Simon of Cyrene, that moment came when a Roman spear point forced him to carry the cross of a condemned Galilean.

Simon arrived in Jerusalem as a pious traveler from North Africa, seeking the spiritual homecoming of Passover. Instead, he found himself at the center of an execution that would shatter his world and birth a movement. But the burden of the cross was only the beginning.

As the dust of Jerusalem settles, Simon must lead his family through an empire on the brink of upheaval. From the shores of Cyrene to the dangerous streets of Ephesus and Antioch, Simon's sons, Alexander and Rufus, are forced to choose their own paths. Will they uphold their father's hard-won faith, or will the temptations of Roman power and the whispers of heresy tear the family legacy apart?

Spanning decades and continents, 'From the Dust of Jerusalem' is a sweeping family saga of redemption, perseverance, and the high cost of belief. Perfect for fans of Biblical historical fiction, this epic historical journey explores what happens after the greatest story ever told--and how one man's forced sacrifice became a family's eternal legacy.

Can a faith born in blood survive the fires of the Roman Empire?
