"After reading the first book, there's no way I could put his one down! This is book #2 and once again, the history of this time period is amazing and the author has done her research and makes you feel like you're in the book. This book just keeps getting better and is full of wonderful suprises! "

" Follow up to "A Voice in the Wind". This is a continuing story of Hadassa, a young Jewish slave in a very wicked Roman empire. It is a love story and a journey of faith and forgiveness. It was just beautiful. If you read "A Voice in the Wind" then you will have to read this one. "

" Wow the second book in this series was fantastic, I laughed, cried, angered and cheered. Francine Rivers is truly gifted in writing. the first book in the series was great and i rushed online to purchase the second now I am thinking about reading everything she has ever wrote. Love this "

" more melodramatic than the first, but the end makes up for it. not quite as perfect as the first time around - still giving 5 stars for being such an inspiration. "
— Amanda, 11/26/2013 -
" I've learned to think like the main character, Hadassah. She's always looking to please the Lord and listen for His voice to direct her actions. It took me about a week to finish it... amazing. "
— Lindsey, 11/10/2013 -
" Second book in possibly one of the world's best trilogy(s) EVER! This book, although my least favorite of the three, had by far the best ending of any book I have ever read. "
— Sarah, 2/20/2013 -
" Ouuuu! This was such a great resolution to the story line!! I really enjoyed this book..I might have actually read it too fast and missed some very important internal character development...Great read. Really inspiring and reminds you of the power of faith and prayer "
— Shawna, 1/14/2013 -

— Heidi, 8/18/2012 -
" Highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to read about life right after Jesus' resurrection "
— Laura, 7/23/2012 -
" Ok...so the writing left a lot to be desired, but the story...oh the story. God is so good and how can we deny that. Convicted of my own lake of faith and burden for the lost around me. God has definitely used Francine Rivers again to convict me of where I lack in my faith. "
— Shelly, 7/2/2012 -
" It was nice to get the story of Hadassah and Marcus resolved without any hanging threads. "
— Renae, 6/3/2012 -
" couldn't put it down - let the dishes pile up, kids veg in front of the tv, ate frozen pizza for 2 days - good. "
— Marina, 5/21/2012 -
" So far I am staying up past my bedtime reading. Thank goodness for my iPad, I can read on the treadmill much easier. Love this series!!! "
— Bara, 3/23/2012 -
" This book was as good as the first. I was very engrossed in the story and the characters. The theme throughout the book was impossible to miss: follow Jesus' example literally, be a servant to others, love selflessly and unconditionally, and forgive absolutely anything "
— Theresa, 3/6/2012 -
" Another good one, I so recommend it! "
— Karen, 3/1/2012 -

— Dee, 12/4/2011 -
" Worth reading to find out what happens from the first book, but not as good. "
— Rosie, 7/18/2011 -

" did not enjoy this book as I did the first. Slow moving and just did not draw me in. I kept reading so I could see what would happen to Marcus and Hadassah. Not sure if I will read the 3rd book in the trilogy or not. "
— Heather, 3/10/2011 -
" This has been a really good series. This is the second book in the series, a little more boring than the first one, but still a good read. I'm half way through the 3rd book and I have to say the 3rd book, in my opinion, is much better than the first 2. I'm excited to see how it all ends! "
