"He was the Messiah. And if this is God's will, then I will just have to accept it."
Everyone left. The crowds who had shouted "Hosanna" scattered. The disciples who had sworn their loyalty fled into the shadows. The soldiers finished their work and walked away. But one man stayed.
Simeon was just a boy the night the angels lit up the sky over Bethlehem. He was just a shepherd, barefoot and breathless, running to a stable where a newborn baby smiled at him and changed the course of his life forever. From that moment, Simeon made a quiet, stubborn vow: he would follow this child wherever the road led.
And it led him everywhere. Through the dusty streets of Nazareth, where he watched Jesus grow. Through the miracle at Cana and the sermons on hillsides. Through the cheering palms of Jerusalem and the jeering mob that replaced them days later. It led him all the way to Golgotha, where Simeon knelt in the dirt as the sky turned black and the earth shook and the man he had believed in for over thirty years breathed His last.
But Simeon did not leave. He could not. While the world moved on, he stayed at the foot of the cross, bleeding, broken, and refusing to let go of a faith the world told him was dead. What happened next would take Simeon from that bloodstained hill into the arms of Mary, the mother of Jesus, into a brotherhood with a Roman centurion named Cornelius, and into a love story with the most unlikely woman. Together, they would carry the gospel across seas and empires, from Jerusalem to Cyprus, from the shores of Britannia to the wild heart of a continent that had never heard the name of Christ.
The Last Man At The Cross is a sweeping work of biblical fiction that imagines the untold life of a man who witnessed it all, from the manger to the cross and beyond. Rick Wake weaves Scripture, history, and rich storytelling into an epic journey of faith that spans decades, continents, and generations, building toward a finale that connects one shepherd's obedience to one of the most transformative moments in Christian history.
Best for readers who love biblical fiction rooted in Scripture, enjoy richly imagined retellings of the early church, and are drawn to stories where ordinary faith leads to extraordinary purpose. Fans of Francine Rivers' Mark of the Lion series, Jerry B. Jenkins, and Davis Bunn will find a powerful new voice in Rick Wake.
