What a Strange Little Man

Michael Aurelius is a prison guard for the Roman Empire in 90 A.D. His beautiful wife, Mary desperately longs for a child, but Michael’s profession leads him to questioning his faith and reality, which affects his home, his life, and his sanity. After conversations with the strange little man that Michael guards within the dungeon-like prison, he is faced with questions about the existence of God, the reality of Jesus, and his own life. Just as he comes to accept that God is real, he is whisked off to the 31st Century. Michael and Mary team up with an archeologist, a friend, and an historical figure to search for the answers. With a riveting plotline and rich characters, Straessle weaves a story that reflects desperation before salvation. Fearless, rich, and riddled with similes relating to ancient Biblical doctrine and futuristic foreshadowing, What A Strange Little Man will have readers guessing until the final pages.
