True courage

Recommend to me by a friend, I started this audiobook 3 days from today. Every chance I could from that day, I listened to this book with eagerness. Through the story Francine Rivers tell, God spoke to me and my heart. Definitely would recommend this book.

Also, glad I choose the audible and not a paperback. The narration is on-point. My recommendation is to listen at 1.3 speed.

title and summary didn't match the book

Although the book was good the book summary and title didn't match the book.
The book was manly about a selfish spoiled girl at any cost she always had to have her way even if she had to murder for it... She had no love or thought for anyone or anything...You will fall in love with the slave girl but she is not the man character.

Mesmerizing

Listening to "The Voice in the Wind" was astounding! Every moment brought such a depth of the Lord & caused me to hunger for the next chapter. Richard Ferrone, was spectacular in every way! His amazing intonations & use of all the characters was beyond noteworthy! it was the depth of the authors amazing writing & her understanding of Church history & his absolute oneness with developing each & every character! I highly recommend this outstanding book to all who have a hunger for the Messiah Jesus! Now, I can move on to the next book in this series!

Rivers gives depth to Roman culture

Listening to Rivers' depiction of what the Roman and Greek culture was like at the time of Christianity's birth provides deeper understanding of biblical situations.

Loved the narration

The story was very good, but had some seriously preachy moments, which for a book aiming toward a Christian audience, I found excessive and annoying.

The narration was excellent and I would be excited to listen to some of his other readings.
