    About this ebook

    People often appear in gospel writings, with no more than a few sentences. This work seeks to open up their inner worlds, including a soldier who guards a dead body, a madman who lives among tombs, a woman with an illness of bleeding and another who battles seven demons. What surprises us most is how much courage and fierce love are present in these stories.
