The Hidden Flame

Acts of Faith

De: T. Davis Bunn, Janette Oke

Narrado por: Susan Lyons

Three-time Christy Award winner Davis Bunn collaborates with the beloved Janette Oke to evoke the spirit of the original followers of the Way. In a first-century Jerusalem seething with turmoil, religious and political leaders eye the burgeoning Christian community with suspicion. While a Hebrew merchant and a Roman soldier vie for the hand of a lovely follower of Christ, she finds her heart drawn to another whose tireless care and unflinching faith shine daily.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Richly textured and filled with familiar New Testament figures, their novel also meticulously describes the political climate of the time, including the conflicts between the Romans, Zealots, and Hasmodeans. More than a simple love story, given miracles, martyrdom, and men on a mission, this is the perfect tale for readers who enjoy such biblical epics as Henryk Sienkiewicz’s Quo Vadis, Lew Wallace’s Ben Hur, and Lloyd C. Douglas’ The Robe." ( Booklist)

Better each time!

I recently “rediscovered” this delightful Biblical devotion story. As I listened again, the story was as fresh and captivating as it was the first time!

I really enjoyed this series!

These writers make the Bible seem like I’m living in that day. Experiencing what it must have been like to live then and increasing my faith to live my life for Jesus.

INSPIRING

What a beautiful work of Christian fiction. You could almost believe it happened that way. Well done.

Loved

Third time listening to this and still love it! Narrative is well done as well as the story line!! Love

It’s a wonder picture of the book of Acts,

Loved it! It’s important to know this is historical fiction, we don’t take it as solid scripture. But, a nice story on book of Acts

Love The History

What a great way to review the history of the early church! The story is interesting, however, the author's stories tend to drag on a bit. Conversations with too much elaboration. I find myself losing interest in wanting them to get to the point or move on. I also think that it’s not good to use real historical characters and put words in their mouth and attribute actions to them, particularly when it’s biblical people, because it can lead people to form opinions that are not true or to think something happened that didn’t. With the things of God, it’s critical that things be accurate.

This is one of my favorite narrators. Her voice is pleasant, she sounds authentic when acting, and her characters' voices are good. .

A bit confusing for me. But good read

I do much like this book but… There are some things that I got confused on and some other things that shouldn’t have been in there. But I liked it.

great Christian fiction

encourages me to dig deeper into the Bible and follow this story along with this book. loved the narrator, what a gift she has

PROOF OF CHRIST'S RESURRECTION

Would you consider the audio edition of The Hidden Flame to be better than the print version?

YES, DEFINITELY - IT WAS CLEAR AND WELL TOLD WITH EXPRESSION. IT MADE THE TRUTHS OF THE RESURRECTION COME TO LIFE.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Hidden Flame?

THE LOVE STORY OF STEPHEN AND ABIGAIL

What does Susan Lyons bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

THE READING EXPRESSED SO VIVIDLY, YOU COULD ALMOST SEE IT,

If you could take any character from The Hidden Flame out to dinner, who would it be and why?

MARTHA = SHE WAS SUCH A TRUE BELIEVER WITH NO HYPOCRICY.

Any additional comments?
