As Sure as the Dawn

The Mark of the Lion, Book 3

Very enjoyable

Don't stop at this book, please continue with the other 2 books in the series

Disappointing

Too much preaching as always. However, the story of this book is not as interesting as the prior two. Seems the author was just run out of imagination. Too heavy handed for the story, and the characters just dies or survived or being punished any time as needed. The eternal goal of everything is just for everybody to believe in God, whatever happened to them was served to this purpose only.

Enjoyed this trilogy enormously!

I bought this solely from the reviews, and was not disappointed. I downloaded all three in the trilogy. Solid writing, great research of the area and times, and was a wonderful listen!

What a great series

I didn't want it to end... an amazing story of learning about love and the lord. Bless Jesus and the love he bestowed to us who are so underserving. She is such a brilliant author, I can never put her books down once I start reading.

Book 3 can't be beat!

I didn't know if I would love to follow these characters as much as I liked the characters in the first 2 books. well, they grew on me and the story drew me in! loved it!
