Publisher Description

In first-century Judea, the followers of the Way have burgeoned into a vibrant, growing community that cannot be ignored. Jerusalem is in turmoil as its religious leaders on one side, and its Roman rulers on the other, conspire to stamp out the fledgling Church. And Abigail, who thought she had finally found home and safety, is caught between the opposing forces. Two suitors desire the lovely Abigail’s hand in marriage. Ezra, a successful Hebrew merchant and widower with important connections among the Sanhedrin, is looking for a mother for his children. The Roman soldier Linux is fascinated by her winsome charm and possibly could offer the sanctuary—maybe even the love—for which she yearns. But her heart has been captured by neither of these men. Will her faith and courage survive a heartbreak beyond comprehension as the followers face a gathering storm of persecution they never could have foreseen? A glimmer of hope beckons Abigail forward....

"This is the second in the series by Janette Oke and Davis Bunn about the time following the crucifixion of Christ and its impact on the Judean and Roman worlds and how they began to intertwine. I would absolutely recommend this book. You will fly through the pages! "

    " This is good story, based on Biblical characters I have read about since childhood, so had a sense of the familiar about it ... yet with intriguing (fictional) details about these heroes' lives. The action was a little slow at times, and I had trouble getting into the story ... but now at the end of it I am anxious to finish reading the next book in the series. "

    " Just finished "The Hidden Flame" by Janette Oke and Davis Bunn. This book is the second book in the series Acts Of Faith. While this book was good it wasn't as good as the first one "The Centurion's Wife" These books are based on The Bible. This book is based on the time after Jesus's death and the growth of the church, it ends with the stoning of Stephen. I give this book 3 stars because I though there was too much detailing in the story that I didn't feel added to the story while I realize that some readers like the extra details and depending on the story sometimes I do. I liked this story as it brought insight to what the Biblical people felt "

    " At first it was hard for me to adjust to a new character since I liked Leah and Alban do much in the first book, but as I kept reading, I really enjoyed Abigail and the transformation of Linux. What a great ending and I can't wait to start the next series. "

    " I thought this book was slow and I guess I was anticipating a more Historical fiction type of book. This book focuses more on the Christian philospophy and the fictional story and less on history. It was okay, but not captivating and I probably won't read more in the series. "

    " I wasn't sure about this series when I started it, but I really like it. They're fictional accounts of people in the early church, some of them real and some imaginary. They keep getting more and more interesting, I think. "

    " It is a nice christian book, but perhaps too nice. The idea of setting a story among the first christians in Jerusalem is fascinating, but unfortunately there are too few characthers in my opinion. I would have liked to hear more about Peter and Martha, and about Stephen's work. "
