About the Book

Quintas Livius, a Roman tax clerk, finds himself a hunted man after filing an investigative report on a rash of disturbances in Galilee surrounding a supposed miracle worker named Jesus. In the wake of Jesus's crucifixion, the authorities in Jerusalem must squelch a brewing rebellion over what has come to be seen as a rushed execution of a genuine prophet. Because of his report, which had been submitted prior to Jesus's trial, Quin becomes a prime object of that post-crucifixion cover-up. During his investigation, Quin had unknowingly become entangled in an anti-Jesus conspiracy--an entanglement severed only after Quin got thrown together with a group of Jesus followers and an itinerant merchant trying to make money off those followers. Among the people Quin meets are a man who worked at a wedding feast in Cana and a young girl who carries a rope she said was used to lower a man through a roof to be healed by Jesus. The report Quin eventually submits will subject him to the wrath of a ruling establishment seeking to eliminate any evidence that it might have known the truth of Jesus before condemning him. But as he flees for his safety, Quin encounters the risen Jesus and learns the truth behind all the strange circumstances he investigated.

Review :
"The Encounters of Quintus Livius takes the reader to a period of turmoil in a young man's life as he experiences the weeks preceding Jesus's death on the cross. The smooth flowing pace of this story as well as an element of suspense entice the reader to follow Quintus as he struggles with life altering decisions that makes this book a meaningful read for young people as well as adults. The Encounters of Quintus Livius would be an excellent guide for group Lenten discussions in addition to individual reading pleasure." --Doris Hodgen, retired librarian "In The Encounters of Quintas Livius, readers are invited to a front row seat, not as much to the miracles of Christ recorded in Holy Scripture, but to myriad fictional accounts of the witnesses to those same miracles. Will Quin follow 'the prophet, ' or will he capitulate to unbelief, the expectations of the times, the guilt of personal history, and the desire for bodily comforts? Patrick Garry winsomely encourages us to ask these same questions of ourselves, as we can't help but walk the rocky, dusty roads of Palestine in Quin's sandals." --Sarah M. Estelle, professor of economics, Hope College
