Pleasant surprises are just that—pleasant. This morning I woke up to a pleasant surprise on my Facebook page. That surprise came courtesy of Greg Thurston. He posted the following review of my book:
Last night I finished reading The Soldier Who Killed a King, by David Kitz: I was 
speechless, but I must speak.
What a compelling story of the Passion, told by the Centurion who drove the nails into Jesus’ hands. To say it was gripping, riveting, real, and fresh is completely inadequate. Kitz manages to skillfully draw you through a familiar story with uncommon drama, unexpected turns, and brings tears along the way.
This singular story is simultaneously the story of us all: seeking to deal with our guilt, our inner conflicts, and to find the elusive peace we know must be out there.
I highly recommend this book. You may think you know the story, but you don’t know it at all. Read it and see what it does to you.
It was a pleasure to work with the dedicated team at Kregel Publications to bring this literary project to fruition. From the editors to the design and marketing team, I felt heard and respected every step of the way. Thanks to everyone at Kregel for the time and effort they put into my novel. (I have decided to avoid listing names for fear of missing someone.) Your dedication and hard work is much appreciated.
I love the Psalms
