Antioch's Daughter

Generations of Faith Book 2

De: Jenna Van Mourik

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

EXPERIENCE THE EARLY CHURCH.

Forced from her home after the stoning of Stephen and persecution of believers in Jerusalem, Libi and her family now live in the city of Antioch. Days pass quickly in a community where the oppressed are in great need, and Libi finds every opportunity to serve alongside other believers despite growing obstacles and a lack of resources. All of this leaves little time to think about what she has lost, or the growing desire in her heart for what she does not have.

Cassius lives his life in the shadows after witnessing the impossible and deserting the Roman Army as a coward. While passing through Antioch, Cassius accidentally crosses paths with the followers of The Way—the same group of radicals that Cassius blames for his long-dead military career. Staying in Antioch could satisfy his thirst for revenge, but only if he can avoid Libi, whose presence has an effect on him that threatens to break down the defenses he has spent years building.

When a persecutor from Libi’s past re-emerges, Libi is forced to confront doubts she didn’t know she carried, and Cassius must also reconcile with his past if he ever aims to have a future. How far does grace go, and will they have the strength to find out?

This is Book 2 in the Generations of Faith series. Read the first part of Libi's story in Jerusalem's Daughter, available now.

I could feel the annoying throughout this book.

This book was annoyed. While I wish it were narrated by a human because the virtual voice was not good to me, but the book was well written and played out. It took the thought process to a whole-nother level of what would have been going on and happening to a person that jesus had touched healed and even set free. it sparked the thoughts of me realizing how people had to have been affected in more than the way that they sought Jesus for. i.e. everything in their body had to be effected by Jesus' touch. They had to be walking miracles!

how's the story immersed Us in the word of God

thank God for his word and thank you for the writer that young girl that song that was once death really stood out love to know behind of how Paul suffered from the start, to the speaker what a blessing your voices thank you for this wonderful book that just Drew me to the word of God. would love more books like this.

The story is so convicting!

Antioch’s Daughter by @jennavanmourik was an unbelievable book for me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It was so convicting. This is Christian historical fiction set in late Biblical times. It has cameos of Saul/Paul and Barnabas and it mentions Jesus and Stephen. Libi (who was healed by Jesus) and her Christ following family flee Jerusalem after grandmother was killed on the evening of Stephen’s stoning. She and her immediate family split from the rest of the family and head to Antioch because they fear for her life since she was one of Jesus confirmed miracles. Cassius was a Roman soldier who flees Jerusalem after nailing Jesus to the cross, and then seeing something unexplainable when he was guarding the tomb on the third day. After years he ends up in Antioch where he by chance saves Libi’s life. He is introduced to Jesus as a savior through her family. Can Libi and her family see past his past as they teach and when Saul comes on the scene, can the forgive him for what he put them through! #Antioch’sDaughter

God’s forgiveness

I really liked it and just the amount of forgiveness and love in the story and just the plot and the miracles in it so I do think it could’ve been slightly better if it had more with the Roman general and him overall it was five stars

Good relaxing read

The story is sweet and predictable - a good stressless read. The AI narration isn't the worst that I have heard, but a real human would add a lot to the tone and pace of the book.

Excellent narration w/Virtual Voice

I couldn’t believe how good this book was using Virtual Voice. I’ve listened to some top author’s books and couldn’t stand their narrator. The story was definitely a page turner too.

Beautifully written

I gain insight to scripture through the characters and their relationships. The explanation of the armor of God was wonderful!

The story line

Slow getting started but great story. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and fall in love with them as they tell the story.

Unique plot

Excellent storyline weaved into to Bible verses. Interesting and imaginative. The ending without giving it away was not predictable.

Virtual voice

The virtual voice narration is harder to follow and not as interesting as human narration.
