I didn't know what to expect from this novel, going in.  I was pleasantly surprised at how well the author wove the story into and around the Gospel narratives.  The story moved well and maintained interest throughout.  The was also a pervading air of "authenticity" to the story, with accurately reproduction of the relevant parts of Christian scripture.The Gospel message is woven into the tale, but in my opinion was not in your face (though it was certainly not merely subtle background - it is definitely a major theme).I found myself looking forward to my reading time every night and enjoyed the experience of this book immensely.  As a romance it wasn't sappy.  As a Gospel message it was balanced and accurate.  As an adventure it was well done.  I would recommend the book to anyone without hesitation.
