5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Story of God's Love and Forgiveness, 29 Jan 2003
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It's been a year since the end of A VOICE IN THE WIND. Marcus is feeling restless. His life of pleasure no longer holds any happiness for him. Julia is finding that her friends really don't care for her, and she is fighting an illness that no one seems to be able to cure. Their mother, Phoebe, prays constantly for their salvation. Fortunately, God has not given up on them. And the answer might come from the strange woman hidden in veils who assists the young doctor Alexander at his shop in the poor part of town.

Francine Rivers has once again captured the Roman empire of the 1st century AD. Rome, Ephesus, and Israel come alive with compelling people and small historic details. The theme of God's love and the power of forgiveness are beautifully shown through the lives of these characters. The ending was so powerful, I'm sure it will stay with me for quite some time.

This novel is definitely a sequel to the first book in the series, A VOICE IN THE WIND. Enough of the first book is explained so you won't be lost if you choose to read this one first. However, since you'll ultimately want to read the first one, I recommend starting with it so none of the surprises will be spoiled.

These novels are some of the best Christian fiction I've ever read. If you enjoy a good story with strong characters, you'll want to pick these up and read them today.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a lesson in forgiveness!, 28 Feb 2001
By A Customer
The sequel to Voice In The Wind, and second in the 'The Mark Of The Lion' trilogy, continues the story of the Valerian family. Sometimes sequels leave you feeling a little let down, but not so with this book. It flows with superb detail from where the story left off in the first book. The characters are so believable and you find yourself thinking about them even when you are not reading the book. Without giving anything away there are a few surprises. The unbending faith found in some of the characters leaves you feeling challenged as you read. Definitely not a book to be left on the shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes life for 1st Century Christians become tangible., 27 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I feel as though I have lived life under the Roman empire as a believer in Christ. This story took me there. The characters are so wonderful, so believable. What a hedonistic people--What an amazing Deliverer!
