Simon of Cyrene: The Man Who Helped Jesus Carry The Cross

Who was the man who helped Jesus carry the cross? His name was Simon of Cyrene, and his brief appearance in the biblical account of Jesus' journey to Calvary inspired this powerful Christian historical fiction novel by Em Hessed.

Simon of Cyrene traveled to Jerusalem believing God was about to answer his prayers.
He never imagined God's answer would be Jesus.

In this Christian historical fiction novel, the brief biblical account of Simon of Cyrene unfolds into a story of surrender, transformation, and purpose.

As Simon learns to move according to God's plan rather than his own, mirror the footsteps of Christ, and mentor others through his transformed life, readers are invited to examine their own journey.

Sometimes God answers our prayers differently than we expect.
Sometimes He gives us something far greater.

The greatest blessing has never been a destination...
It has always been Jesus.
