From the Back Cover
The year is A.D. 64
and in Rome, the church faces fierce persecution. Driven into hiding, Christians gather wherever it's safe. At secret meetings, they learn about Jesus of Nazareth. And their faith prospers thanks to courageous leaders-like Ben the Baker who, with his wife, Helena, and their "family" of young orphans, keeps the stories of Jesus alive in
The Storykeepers. When four-year-old Marcus befriends two lion cubs who escape from the docks, reuniting the cubs with their mother means going to the Circus Maximus, where lions are being prepared to face off with the Christians in Neros awful games! But with the help of two Christians - an animal trainer and a sea captain - Ben and the children rescue the mother lion and are in for some wonderful surprises! Woven into the adventure are practical lessons from Jesus parable of the lost sheep, the story of the deaf and mute man, and the story of the widows mite. Like the children in this story, the whole family will enjoy the adventure and hearing stories of Jesus told in a fresh setting.
