The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas

A Roman soldier, Marcellus, wins Christ's robe as a gambling prize. He then sets forth on a quest to find the truth about the Nazarene's robe-a quest that reaches to the very roots and heart of Christianity and is set against the vividly limned background of ancient Rome. Here is a timeless story of adventure, faith, and romance, a tale of spiritual longing and ultimate redemption.

Stichley's Rating:
I am always surprised by the number of kids college age that have not seen the movie, heard of, or read this book.  I consider it to be one of the great classics that I read in high school.  For that reason I am including it here.  Clearly if you aren't religious it might put you off, but I think it is a great story no matter your faith and level or religion.  It is about love and forgiveness.  

Instances of Swearing:

  • I'm not including references of God or Christ due to the story nature they are not intended as swear words so not even going to count them.
  • Damn: 3
  • Hell: 1
  • Ass: used as Pack-Asses
