The Good Thief Quotes

“The Harelip had taken off her heavy shawl and draped it over a headstone. The grave was tilted and covered with moss, the name worn away by the weather. The person underneath had been forgotten and was no longer mourned by the world. But for a moment, Ren thought, the small black slate looked warmed, and grateful for being chosen.”
― Hannah Tinti

“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

“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!”
