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?

This sounds like a fascinating book for children.
I want to thank Liese for highlighting the book.
Nancy, when I was writing the book I asked a young boy and his sister who are homeschooled to pick between between two versions. The one they choose became the text for the book. Blessings to you and yours.
This would be perfect to read to my kids!
This sounds like something I think my kids would enjoy, thanks for sharing!
Great book for my grandkids.
