A beautiful testimony!

This storyline shows how the Lord Jesus Christ can work through anyone & use anyone to reach others!

Inspiration and Romance done to Perfection

This series is a winner. The narrator is a total pro, making both male and female voices believable. A true voice actor. This book is 2nd in the series and picks up where the first book ends, with our female lead lying torn apart by lions in the arena in Ephesus around 85A.D. and her love watching from the stands, horrified.
I can’t really say anything about the book without giving away major spoilers, but just know that it’s very twisty and you won’t be disappointed! But definitely read/listen to the first book in the series, A Voice In The Wind prior to this book. Otherwise the book will lose all emotional impact and probably not make any sense.

I loved this 2nd book in the series as much as the first one.
I didn't want it to end. the story line was amazing as was the narration of the story. Can't wait to read the 3rd and all of Francine Rivers novels. thank you Ms Rivers for your novels and God for your amazing talent.

Wonderful story

I listened to this whole book in a matter of a couple days. It was powerful and tearjerking but full of hope. Some of Rivers’ best work!

Among the best books ever, Christian or otherwise.

This is the 2nd in a series of 3 books and the 1st is just as good. While this book is full of Christian values and morals, it is far from being free of violence. The author uses the main character (the slave girl, Hadassah) to teach some of the best and most in-depth lessons I have ever seen on how and why to be humble, meek, forgiving, and loving -- in short, how and why to be a true Christian. Christianity aside, these books will compare favorably with any in terms of action, adventure, suspense, and characters you really know and care about. The narration is excellent. 5 stars.
