Titus and the Christian Coin

An Adventure of Faith and Freedom

By: Dennis Conrad, Derinda Babcock

Narrated by: James L. Rubart

When Titus refuses to deny his Christian faith, Roman persecution destroys his family and condemns him to a brutal life in the copper mines of northern Italy.

Underground, surrounded by despair and danger, he must choose between hatred and hope, revenge and redemption. From a mine collapse to an emperor’s audience hall, Titus’s journey spans the Roman Empire during Constantine’s transformative reign. Alongside Tribune Felix, he discovers that true freedom comes through forgiveness, not force.

Authentic historical details bring ancient Rome to life while timeless themes of faith, friendship, and courage inspire modern listeners.

This gripping adventure combines accurate historical research with compelling storytelling. Listeners will witness early Christian persecution, experience Roman culture, and walk through Constantine’s palace while following Titus’s transformation from broken slave to Roman citizen.

An unforgettable tale where archaeological accuracy meets heart-pounding adventure, proving that faith can triumph over the darkest circumstances and that God’s love never abandons His people.

great read

Traveling through early history was sobering, yet the authors kept tasteful and clean not going into any of the gruesome details the Christians suffered. It was adventurous, fast paced, and all the plot twists kept me engaged. I believe in the beginning of the book (maybe it was the end), the book was categorized as middle grade. This tour describes it as Christian teen – Young Adult, which I think is more accurate.

The story starts as Titus a teenager but ends with him as an adult in his twenties, a young father. Although you witness him falling in love, the book is kept clean and though geared towards a younger reader, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I rate it a 4 star. The narrator was outstanding!

I was given an audiobook by authors and IReadtours, but was not required to give a positive review. These thoughts and opinion are my own.
