 In this novel it is the conversion of a cynic, a man who gave lip service to the christian church while using it to serve his own ends. Or so he thought.

Cedonius was the head slave in a Christian household in Rome toward the end of the second century, a time when Christianity was still officially outlawed.  He was a handsome, clever, arrogant man, unscrupulous in using his master's money and his connection with the Christian community for speculations through which he hoped to make enough profit to purchase his freedom.

When Myonides, the Jew absconded with his money, Cedonius tried to escape to Africa, but was captured and sentenced to prison.  After his release he sought revenge upon Myonides, only to find himself exposed as a Christian and sent to the mine of Sardinia - a sentence considered equivalent to slow death.  But Cedonius did not die; rather, he lived at last.  Through the example of the slave Rufus, the weakling he had despised and brought to ruin, and with the help of another prisoner who was a priest, he began to understand what it meant to be a Christian.  ANd by his life, and finally his death, he communicated this understanding to others, so that dying he lived, and became "a seed from which, in God's time, the love of God would grow and flower".

OUR SHIPPING DEPARTMENT ON BREAK

Just look at those eyes.  Our shipping department is proud of their service.  They ship all orders within one day of receipt of payment and generally are able to ship the same day.  All books are shipped in new, cardboard boxes or rigid cardboard envelopes.  Fewer than 1% are shipped in alternative packaging because of being oversized.  They do not use padded envelopes because they know those envelopes do not protect books.  AND they firmly believe that profits should be made on the sale of the book and NOT on inflated shipping costs.  For domestic shipping, the total shipping cost is the actual postage cost including delivery confirmation plus the actual cost of the shipping materials which is $0.67.  Our shipping department is rewarded for outstanding work but maintain their svelte physique through the hard work they do.

We gladly combine purchases to save you shipping expense.  I will send you an invoice to reflect the total shipping for combined purchases.  Combined shipping is calculated as follows:  Full shipping charges for the first item and then subtract $2.00 from the calculated shipping charge for each additional item. 

 Shipments outside the United States are by Flat Rate Priority Mail if the Book fits into the Flat Rate Envelope and the cost is $12.30 to Canada and Mexico and $14.30 to other international destinations that accept Flat Rate Priority shipments.  All other international shipments will be calculated on an individual basis and will be charged at actual shipping costs with no handling fees.
