Compelling & Enlightening Biblical Fiction

Get ready to be immersed into the time period of AD 60 and the difficulties a Christian faced in Corinth. The research is impeccable and the storytelling spot on. This is the story of two stepsisters one is a Christian and the other worships the temple gods especially Aphrodite. Mariana has an unwavering faith as she grows by reading Paul’s letters to the church. Prima is a lost soul and although devious and a pagan worshiper I saw a lost soul and I hurt for her and the bad choices she made while being deceived by Satan. It is a great reminder that our choices dictate our destiny. I loved the hope, forgiveness, change of hearts, growth, romance, and the suspensefulness of this story. Even if you aren’t a Biblical fiction lover I think you will find the content of this story fascinating. It was enlightening in revealing just how depraved the Romans were but how the light of the gospel could still prevail and win souls for Christ. I highly recommend reading this as it is very informative and interesting. This is book two in The Emissaries series but reads as a stand-alone. It does end with a cliffhanger that book three will have the answers. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
