Titus: The Aristocrat (Intrepid Men of God Book 8)

By Katheryn Maddox Haddad

Description:

Corinth—full of wild sailors, temple prostitutes, wealthy investors. Crete—infamous for pirates, slave auctions, earthquakes. Dalmatia—with its barbarians, undead, and evil dragons.

Titus is an aristocrat, born of privilege, surrounded by luxury in the family palatio, and a graduate of the university at Pergamum. His father is the supreme judge of Antioch and Flamin of Apollo, while his mother is Flaminica of Apollo’s Muses.

His ambition is to become important like his father and qualify for the purple border on his own white toga. Then he meets the Apostle Paul and becomes a Christian. Paul sends him to places where he does not fit in to use his unique talent—arbitrate between arch enemies and impossible situations.

What does aristocrat Titus endure to carry out the apostle’s assignments?

Book Takeaway:

Titus has a successful law practice. He had to give it all up to obey Paul and go to Corinth with its crooks, Crete with its pirates, and Dalmatia with its barbarians. What causes a man to give it all up for his faith?

Why the author wrote this book:

Traditionally, Titus was born in Antioch. Antioch was a unique city of aristocrats and speakers of Latin, not the normal Greek spoken everywhere else. Could being born of privilege make a difference after he was converted?
