Young Barabbas faces his demons and starts down the road that will lead him to his ultimate destiny:

Letter to My Readers:
I began writing this story after September 11, 2001. This novel represents twelve years worth of my writing.
Writing this project off and on throughout the years, I sought to be as accurate as possible through my research.This book is a work of fiction. However, the time, the culture, the places and many of the people are very real.
Fascinated with history and archeology, I have combined the two to introduce this story to you. I decided to tell this story from a first person point of view, as a simple autobiography. I imagined this tale literally from the lips of Barabbas himself.
Part 1 is the first installment of a quadrilogy. We will follow the historical figure of Barabbas as he journeys through tumultuous events from childhood to his ultimate destiny. Throughout my story, I want to invite the reader into the real world of ancient Palestine and the Roman Empire.
Enjoy!
WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Most people never really think about Barrabas as a person. All we know is that he was a criminal, likely a murderer. But as with any character in history, he too, has a story to tell. Whether this story could actually be true about him, it doesn't really matter. All I know is that the person I had condemned as deserving the cross that Jesus bore, is a real person and that all of us are the same as him, enslaved to our human opinions, until we release them to the One who gave His life to set us free. Thank you, Mr. Brooks, for writing this story.

After completing this quadrilogy I gave a passion for my old Bible! I haven't picked it up in years, ( unless u count dusting)
So...thank you for the inspiration to see things in a different light!

I read this series over the course of a year - and I d have to say that this story - encompassing a 4-set series - was one of the best I've ever read!
I have come away with a whole new appreciation and a new feeling of awe for my beliefs. Kevin is a master at bringing Barabbas to life, while enlightening us on the mysteries that surround the stories in the Bible.
This will not be the first time I read this series.
Thanks so much!
