The Robe

by LLoyd Douglas

**** [4/5]

I read this book several years ago, but I have decided to give it away as a gift and I wanted to write my review before I did.

The book tells the story of Christ's robe that the soldiers gambled for. A man named Marcellus wins the robe and then begins trying to understand the mysterious power the robe has. It is a very well written story and chronicles interactions with many of the disciples.

I liked this book much better than Quo Vadis, but not as well as the Silver Chalice (both comprable works of fiction). A very worthy read.
