The author has touched upon a truly remarkable and original idea. The book has dominated my life for the past week - not even wanting to put it down to sleep. I even took it to work hoping to find time during breaks. Of the last 100 books I've read, this one is tops. There have been so many books that I have read that have left me asking, "Why was this book written?" However, this book quickly developed a purpose, or mission, that I found fascinating. After first finding out who Pontius Pilate was and what his mission for the Roman Empire was, the book presents an incredible solution to fulfilling that mission. The timing is fast paced and seamless, but I still stopped to do a lot of reflecting and smiling. The book was truly enjoyable reading and it will definitely leave an imprint on anyone who reads it.

Readers who are not strong in their Christian faith should avoid reading this book. I am strong in my faith and my belief in Jesus as my personal Savior. Nothing can sway me from my faith in God. However, I have serious concerns that the story/message presented in The Unspoken Power of Rome will create doubts and obstacles in strengthening the spiritual needs for those less firm in their Christian conviction.
