Author Jimmy Campagna’s New Book, “The Cross and the Centurion,” is a Thrilling Account of the Aftermath of the Crucifixion of Jesus Based on Biblical Facts


Eastpoint, FL, March 02, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Jimmy Campagna, author of “From Darkness to Light” and “Once upon a Dream,” has completed his new book, “The Cross and the Centurion”: a mesmerizing novel that takes readers to Jerusalem two thousand years ago when a young Centurion in the Roman Empire named Marcus Plavus was ordered to command a squad of legionnaires to crucify a Jewish man named Jesus. Tribune Quantus was a friend of Jesus and Marcus’ commanding officer.

Author Jimmy Campagna was encouraged by family and friends to start writing stories following the death of his wife, Kay, after sixty years of marriage. A football legend from Rochester, New York, Jimmy moved south on a full athletic scholarship to play football at the University of Georgia—where he set several records during his time on the field and still holds a record for the longest punt return TD of one hundred yards against Vanderbilt and a ninety-six-yard kickoff return against Auburn in 1952.

Jimmy met his wife while they were both students at UGA and fell in love with the south. Jimmy joined the U.S. Air Force as a first lieutenant/navigator and worked for over thirty years as an urban planner and industrial developer in Atlanta, Georgia, with the US Department of Commerce. After retiring, Jimmy moved to St. George Island, Florida. He has three sons, and daughters-in-law, seven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.

Jimmy writes, “Marcus Plavus had just finished polishing his leather boots for the third time. He bent down and slipped his feet into the boots, laced them with rawhide laces, and tied them just below his knees. Next, he stepped into a pleated skirt, made of heavy wool cloth, with the length to his knees. He tied it around his waist with an ornamental ribbon. He slipped on an embroidered sleeveless tunic reaching to mid-thigh, then put a sash over his shoulder as a symbol of his rank, a Centurion second class, commanding one hundred troops of the Roman army. He tied a four-inch-wide leather belt around his waist and hooked a two-foot sword to it. He tied five wrist cuffs and a pair of gloves to the belt, fastened a sheath, and slid a foot-long stiletto knife with a tapered blade, pointed at the tip into the sheath. Maria, his wife of six months, stood in the opening between their two-room apartment. Marcus asked, ‘How do I look?’”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Jimmy Campagna’s new book enthralls readers as they discover how the narrative unfolds.

Bishop Jephthah Sotabinda’s Newly Released “Divine Verses Volume 2” is a Compelling Collection of Spiritual Messages Offering Divine Insight and Guidance


New York, NY, October 20, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “Divine Verses Volume 2: Verses of Truth and Wisdom”: a spiritually rich continuation of divine teachings. “Divine Verses Volume 2: Verses of Truth and Wisdom” is the creation of published author, Bishop Jephthah Sotabinda, a poet, songwriter, and naturopath, dedicated foremost to serving as a messenger of Jesus Christ. From his adolescent years, he explored literary arts through children’s books, poems, and songs, but following his divine calling, he has focused on recording messages from God in his writings, known as Divine Verses.

Bishop Jephthah shares, “The verse-styled publication of the messages of the Lord Jesus Christ continues with volume 2 of the Divine Verses. This volume 2 is a sequel to the first and previous publication of the Divine Verses. As the holy spirit of God continues to impart the messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, Bishop Jephthah, with the needed godly knowledge, another publication of the Divine Verses has to be born.
Like the first and previous publication, this volume is also a thorough portrayal of pure divine truths and wisdom, as it brings absolute clarity on all kinds of truths, be it truths about life, love, or God. But the ultimate truth, which is the truth about God and his Son, Lord Jesus Christ, is the main foundation of the book because it is the highest truth in existence.
For the reason that the Lord Jesus is desirous to see that everyone attains salvation, he continues to pass on his messages of truth to his messenger so that those who pay heed to them can be saved.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Bishop Jephthah Sotabinda’s new book inspires readers to deepen their understanding of God’s truth.
