The book intertwined a number of key New Testament people with the main characters of the book in an interesting way. The careful attention to setting and geography of the land was informative. Although the Spirit's work is life-changing and dramatic, I was a bit put out by the instant decisions of some of the characters. Especially the father who seemed not to work through the decision but just accept it--contrary to his merchant-mentality of "how will it profit." Also the "surreal," "unearthly" directives of the Spirit, again totally possible, but left a "not-so-real" feeling. It's like the halo over Mary at the nativity. The process of character change (for some) seemed instant, without working through. (And again there is that instant obedience to the Word, but it seemed unexplained.) A sweet story set in 40 A.D. Rome about a young girl born to a Greek father and Hebrew mother struggling with her heritage. I enjoyed the historical setting of the book but the ending was a bit of a let down as everything finished too perfectly for all the characters. Would have preferred something a bit grittier. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In this riveting drama of the early church, Jacob, a young caravan guard, delivers messages among the new followers as he learns what it means to be a Christian--and to love and trust the young Greek girl who is neither accepted by the Jews or the Gentiles.
Julia has everything money can buy...except for acceptance by either the Gentiles or the Jews. Her Greek father already has a wife and family, leaving Julia and her Hebrew mother second-class citizens. But when they are introduced to followers of the Way, they become part of that community of believers. Abigail's brother, Jacob, now a young man, is attempting to discover his own place as a Christian. He is concerned that being more serious about his faith means trading away the exhilaration of his current profession as a caravan guard. Hired by Julia's father to protect the wealthy merchant's caravans on the secretive "Frankincense Trail"--undercover transport of this highly valuable commodity--Jacob also passes letters and messages between various communities of believers. He is alarmed to find out that Julia, hardly more than a girl, is also a messenger. Can their immediate mistrust be put aside to finally bring their hearts together?
