Travel on an adventure set in the first century. Marcus joins his father in an important mission for the emperor. One they can’t mess up. This is a challenge for Marcus, a young boy who wants to please his dad, but is a bit clumsy and constantly hurts himself.
I love how his journey ends in Jerusalem and that hears Jesus speaking about giving to Ceasar what is of Ceasars’, and to God what is of God. This sends Marcus on an internal quest to find what is of God. Perfect ending, great illustrations. I highly recommend it.
Book Description:
Marcus and the Emperor’s Coin is an exciting adventure in the Ancient Roman Empire at the time of Christ. Eight-year-old Marcus and his father are on a mission for the Emperor and visit a mine and a mint where coins are made. Marcus finds himself making a denarius, a coin with the emperor’s image.
Marcus goes to Jerusalem where he sees Jesus hold a denarius saying, “Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” What will seeing Jesus mean for Marcus, and will he ever be the same again?
