What is it like for common people to throw stones at a condemned person until he is battered into bloody agony and final painful death? Can ordinary people really engage in such brutality? If they can, are they therefore nothing more than a vile lynch mob? In today's world, we would call such an action cruel and unusual punishment, and quite illegal. The reading and re-reading of a certain gruesome incident recorded in the Bible is enough to fill one's mind with questions. What would it be like for us to step back in time and see the brutality of a Biblical stoning actually occurring? Could we stand the sight of it? This book is a fictional story based on certain Bible passages, which in the author's mind lend plausibility to his story.
