So grateful for this series!

This series and this book, in particular, have been faith-building, soul-inspiring, and heart strengthening. The narrator did a great job of telling this story with as much heartfelt expression and distinction between characters as was meant by the author. Francine Rivers is by far one of the best authors whose work I have had the privilege of enjoying. How encouraging it is to know her work is for the LORD and will never fade away.

The best in Christian Fiction

I have read many books over the years and have listened to many audio books over the years and this is the first time for me to write a review. I was brought to tears many times in the reading of this book as I was in the first book in the series. I have been a fan of the narrator of this book for some time and this is among his very best work. I am inspired!

Excellent insight into Christian/Roman History

If you could sum up An Echo in the Darkness in three words, what would they be?

Captivating, Historical, Refective

Who was your favorite character and why?

Marcus, not just because he is the center of this story line, but because of his frustrations with Christianity and finally submitting to Almighty God. Haddasah's faith is inspiring.

Which scene was your favorite?

Marcus' submission to God.

If you could rename An Echo in the Darkness, what would you call it?

Submission

Any additional comments?

I love Judeo Christian history and this was great--very accurate from what I have studied.
