Bread of Angels

De: Tessa Afshar

Narrado por: Rendah Heywood

Purple. The foundation of an influential trade in a Roman world dominated by men. One woman rises up to take the reins of success in an incredible journey of courage, grit, and friendship. And along the way, she changes the world. But before she was Lydia, the seller of purple, she was simply a merchant's daughter who loved three things: her father, her ancestral home, and making dye. Then unbearable betrayal robs her of nearly everything. With only her father's secret formulas left, Lydia flees to Philippi and struggles to establish her business on her own. Determination and serendipitous acquaintances - along with her father's precious dye - help her become one of the city's preeminent merchants. But fear lingers in every shadow until Lydia meets the Apostle Paul and hears his message of hope, becoming his first European convert. Still, Lydia can't outrun her secrets forever, and when past and present collide, she must either stand firm and trust in her fledgling faith or succumb to the fear that has ruled her life.

Great Reading and Character Development

Tessa Afshar is one of my favorites! This is the story of Lydia, being kind, living with integrity, and how God works all things together for good for those who love Him.

Bread of Angels

This was a new narrator for me and she is awesome. I listen to all my books because I’m blind. This book is so rich in Biblical history. I really enjoyed the portrayal of Paul, though he was a minor character. Looking forward to more by this author. I always pre order her books when they become available.

Great narration. Realistic plot line, but not too stressful/ scary.

I loved the realistic "between the lines" fictional story of a woman mentioned in the Bible. The Old Testament quotes prophecising the Messiah and Paul's testimony were fantastic! I love prophecy, and this fictional account of a woman mentioned in the New Testament had a great collection. The example of God's protection and a life lived applying Biblical principles was also realistic and practical.

Beautiful and uplifting

This was a beautiful story. I very much enjoyed listening to it. It’s a story that you could listen with your children. It will uplift your soul. Thank you Tessa for this beautiful works.

Lovely book

This was a fun book. A little lesson for our soul and characters you will love and hate. Thanks Tessa for another great job. Can't wait till I meet your next one
