Book Review: A Voice in The Wind


It's the first Jewish-Roman way in Jerusalem after about 70 years of the death of Jesus Christ. Francine Rivers, the author of the best-seller "Redeeming Love" takes us back in time for an adventure. It's just not another love story as you might think, but instead it brings us back to the time period after the death of Christ, where the persecution in Rome for Christians was at it's peak. The apostles were still in hiding and holding preachings with the believers.

It captivated me in such way that I couldn't put down my book until I read it all. Hassadah's family was killed in the Jew massacre, she was the only survivor and was sold as a slave. In order to survive as she's assigned to Julia Valeria's slave she must keep her religion a secret. A struggle between continuing practicing the way of Jesus, which is really really hard, and continue fighting to bring the light into her captors house. Between keeping her heart clean against Julia's harsh and unruly mistreatments, can love bloom between Julia's brother Marcus and Hadassah? Sweet, quiet, plain Hadassah who's relentless faith is her priority even above her life, and reckless, indifferent, handsome Marcus who doesn't believe in anything but money.

I believe this book can be enjoyed by anyone even if your not religious nor a Christian though I do think that you would have to endure a little bit of romance, but overall have an open mind to learning new things. Even though the story is fiction some of the writing that is written is what's on the Bible so it'll take those who don't have much knowledge of the Bible on a learning trip. Honestly I enjoyed reading this book and I believe you can enjoy it as well.
