A Stray Drop of Blood

Visibullis Story Series, Book 1

De: Roseanna M. White

Narrado por: Mary Sarah

One little drop to soil her garment. One little drop to cleanse her soul.

Abigail was born free, but when her parents die, she's sold into slavery to the family of a Roman soldier in Jerusalem. Fortunately, the Visibullis family is kind, and as years pass, she's proud to serve them. But Abigail's beauty attracts unwanted attention when their son, Jason, returns from Rome. She doesn't dare to defy him . . . but how can she ever love him as he demands?

As Jerusalem boils with political unrest and the stories of a rabbi named Jesus who snags Jason's attention, Abigail struggles to find her new place in the family. But then tragedy strikes, and her world is shattered. Desperate for justice, Abigail attends a trial for the criminal responsible—Barabbas. She instead finds herself in the path of Jesus, condemned to die in Barabbas's place. And when a stray drop of the rabbi's blood falls upon her, she knows Jason had been right. This Man really is the Son of God.

Only in the wake of His touch can she find what her heart has always longed for. Love, in the place she least expected to find it . . . and freedom for a soul that had resigned itself to slavery.

Lovely biblical fiction with amazing twists!

I LOVED this book! I loved how long it was, I loved feeling the excitement of getting back to the book and falling into the beautiful story! I loved Abigail and Jason and Titos! I loved witnessing Jesus's redemptive power in all these peoples stories and the way God used their experiences for His glory! Amazing book! One I'd buy as a hard copy for my modest library!

one of my fav books / disappointing narration

just started this book, it's one of my favorites. I've read it multiple times. I'll stick with with it because I know I love the story but it's a bit grating with all the breathy lilting...

Interesting story but

It’s an interesting story but for Christian fiction I felt uncomfortable with the morals. To that end I decided after listening to 3/4 of the book, to return it. She does create an interesting story.

Great story!

The plot held my attention or I wouldn’t have been able to get past the dramatic and distracting narration.

Very interesting premise.

I like the book but the narrator makes me cringe. Her constant lisp at the end of every word and her sing-song delivery, which is not how people normally speak, was so distracting I want to return the book. I’m in a few chapters and am trying to ignore her voice but I’m not sure I’m going to be able to finish the book.
