    491_9781643988795
    Levi is a man beset by problems. While he is wealthy, his riches are always being threatened inmany different ways. As a Tax Collector for the Roman Empire, he is shunned by his fellow Jewsas being ritually impure, and so all Jews want to cheat him out of tax money. Being shunneddeeply wounds Levi, because he had once dreamed of being a Rabbi. He had studied in Jerusalemunder the great teacher, Gamaliel, but was out-shone by a fellow student, whom he hated, Paul.Compounding things, Levi also knows that the Roman Prefect, Pontius Pilate, is soon to cometo visit him, probably with the intention of charging him much more money to purchase thetax contracts for the toll booth at Capernaum. His brother, James, who is a fisherman, withhis partner, Peter, keeps nagging him to come and listen to an itinerant preacher, Jesus, whosemessage is that the wealthy should give all their riches to the poor. Finally, his wife, Miriam,who loves to spend money on luxury items and dreams of visiting Rome, probably married himonly for his wealth and may have a roving eye. Meanwhile, there are bandits, led by Iscariot, inthe desert threatening the caravans hauling spices, silk, and other precious luxury goods, whichproduce the enormous tolls at Levi’s toll booth. When his best friend, a Greek merchant namedMaes, arrives in Capernaum with his huge caravan, which arrival should have solved most ofLevi’s problems, everything in Levi’s life comes apart. What can put Levi’s life together again?
