Novemus Opimius Validus was mortally wounded while serving as a
tribune in Rome's legions in Old Judea during the first century
AD-and was then touched by the healing hand of Jesus Christ
himself. After that momentous occasion, his life forever changed;
his inspirational story is one of undying faith, indomitable

Validus witnessed Christ's fabled and momentous Sermon on the
Mount and became a secret Christian, embarking on an astounding
journey that puts him in close proximity to other monumental
historical figures, including Christ's devoted apostle, Peter. He
encounters the young and demented Emperor Gaius Caligula, his
unlikely successor and uncle; the stuttering, physically crippled,
