Is this book one that only believers will enjoy or are there any non-Christians who like this book? I am Catholic and believe but I don't like books that preach more to turn people into Christians.

Buy, borrow, or bin this book? Did you love it, like it, or dislike it? Please let me know. My library *might* have it, but not certain. Seems like a thought-provoking read. Thanks.

I am looking for a book, similar to "The Robe" that I read years ago. It was about Pontius Pilate and Tiberius. I think the title was something like "The Cup and the Sword", but not sure. Can anyone help in identifying this book as it would be much appreciated?

Matthew Alexander My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok. You can try that book
