In this compelling fictional story from UK Warcry editor Andrew Stone, we dive into the world of Barabbas – the insurrectionist and murderer pardoned by Pontius Pilate.

While based on a scriptural timeline, this story reads as a more-ish historical drama with a hint of mystery.

Liberties are taken to weave elements of the Gospels into the story of Barabbas – his relationship with Jesus and his disciples, his observations of Jesus’ lived-out parables and even his encounters with Zacchaeus are all integral to the plot line.

If you give your imagination permission to roam free, knowing Stone stays true to the truth and character of Christ, then this is thoroughly rewarding. The character of Barabbas will intrigue, disgust and resonate with you – ultimately highlighting that Jesus came for the “least of these” – each of us.

'Son of the Father' is available at Koorong.
