Books like Titus by Florence Morse Kingsley
Titus grows up in a bleak household: a fisherman father turned criminal, a downtrodden mother, and a brother, Stephen, who is physically crippled yet kind. Initially skeptical of Jesus, Titus dismisses the Christian message and warns his brother against hope. Determined to flee their abusive father, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey that leads them through perilous encounters with the Roman Empire, thoughts of rebellion, and reflections on the fate of Barabbas. Their quest culminates at the foot of the cross during what history remembers as the most significant crucifixion.
