Incredible story and incredibly written!

Wow what a book! I was so moved by the way Amy Peterson portrayed Perpetua. Truly my soul was moved while reading this. I recommend 10/10

Excellent! Outstanding! Highly recommended!

"Perpetua" is an excellent book I have ever read and it reminds us that the ultimate purpose of this life is only to love our LORD JESUS CHRIST with all our heart, mind, soul and strength above all things in this universe. It is a must read and I strongly recommend this book for everyone. If you are interested in learning what passion for GOD and HIS beauty means, read this book. I am sure that the profit margins would be equal to that of "The Passion of the CHRIST" if it is filmed. I enjoyed reading "Perpetua" written by Amy Rachel Peterson very much and I'll read it again and again during my leisure. Outstanding! Excellent! Highly recommended! Buy this book today!

My all-time favorite novel!!

Perpetua is not only the best historical novel I've read, it has deeply impacted my heart as well. I would encourage anyone to read it and be transported to a very different time, but be ready to be impacted for today's world as well. Thank you Amy for writing this book!!

Amazing! (From a tough critic)

Amy Rachel Peterson wrote an exceptionally beautiful, riviting novel! My heart was uterly captured by Perpetua's story. Perpetua: A Bride, A Passion, A Martyr is the book all my friends will be receiving for their birthdays this year. I've already given away my own copy! Time to order several more.

Amazing, life-changing

This book is the most amazing account of a love-story between Jesus and one of his Chosen ones. The willingness and surrender to Him that is portrayed and the real human struggle that takes place is at the same time encouraging, awe-inspiring and humbling. After reading this book, I want to know Him the way Perpetua did and moreso. This book will draw you in with its captivating writing and the timeless story it tells. And the Lord will use it to change your life.

Perpetua - STUNNING

Perpetua lived and died around A.D. 200, a disciple of the church father Tertullian and martyred by Hilarianus. She left to us her diaries. Keeping the historical elements completely intact, Amy has woven for you Perpetua's precious story. With piercing insight into the movements, triumphs, and even darkness of the human soul, she ushers you into the way of Perpetua's heart...the heart of a willing lover first, and then a willing martyr. Perpetua wrote while imprisoned, "the dungeon became to me as it were a palace, so that I preferred being there to being elsewhere." May Perpetua's story bring you companionship as you too long and wait for your Beloved alone, preparing your heart for all that lies ahead in this age and the one to come. I must add ~ Amy Rachel is, I daresay, one of the most stunning writers I have been privileged to read. My seemingly extreme endorsement is just that ~ you will be changed. Enjoy!
