A Novel, written by Charles William Asher and Dennis Patrick Slattery, attempts to paint a picture of Simon of Cyrene's intriguing life and the redemptive twist of fate caused by accepting Christ's simple, wooden cross.
Encinitas, CA - June 21, 2010 - For Simon of Cyrene, being in the wrong place at the wrong time may have caused his own salvation. In biblical Gospels, Simon of Cyrene is forced by Roman soldiers to carry the heavy burden of Jesus' cross as he is taken to his crucifixion. His task is perhaps among the most important and symbolic acts of the Bible - yet Simon remains a little-known biblical figure.
