Dismas Quotes

“Redemption doesn't require a long road; it only requires a turned head and a seeking heart. Even from the height of a cross, the distance to grace is only a prayer away.”
― David Hudnall, The Reach of the Stamped: A Biblical Fiction Novella of Redemption and the Penitent Thief

“Mercy? Mercy is a joke told by men with full bellies and dry beds. Up here, there is only the wood, the weight, and the wait. We aren't men anymore; we’re just meat hanging in the sun to warn the others.”
― David Hudnall, The Reach of the Stamped: A Biblical Fiction Novella of Redemption and the Penitent Thief

“I looked at Him through the blood and the haze, and finally found the breath I didn't think I had left. The world was screaming, but in that small space between our crosses, there was only a terrifying, beautiful silence. 'Jesus,' I rasped, the word tasting of salt and soul, 'remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
― David Hudnall

“Over in the Amazon reviews a reader just said: 'Loved it! Great read especially during this season of Lent and with Good Friday only a week and a half away. Extremely impressed with the historical accuracy and research, although in general a fictional story brings to light/life the reality of capital punishment in ancient Rome. ...'
So grateful for the support as we just hit the top 200 in Biblical Fiction!”
