Such a profound and inspiring read

I find such an outpouring of love, wisdom, and insight in this trilogy written by Francine Rivers. My testimony of the divinity of Jesus Christ has been strengthened a hundred fold by what I have felt through her story telling.

Enjoyed this book!

As the last book in this trilogy it was a nice ending to it. It could probably be a stand alone book based on the story line, but it was a nice wrap up to the series.

My favorite of the trilogy

This is the third book that I've listened to and I enjoyed this one the most. The story continues with a very postive Christian message with a historical narrative that is biblically based and accurate. I enjoyed the performance.

Enjoyed the trilogy

Francine Rivers has done a masterful job of not only putting faith into action with her characters but also in describing life during the Roman era. The narration added to the experience.

Fantastic conclusion to the trilogy

Rivers finishes up the trilogy with a worthy conclusion. This was a great historical series. Love the many probing biblical points and observations the author weaves into the story. Her handling of Theophilus is an absolute delight.
