Another book give away

On my trip to Cyprus, I finished the first book in Francine Rivers MARK OF THE LION series: A Voice in the Wind. It was fantastic! (Thank you AD for sending it to me for Christmas.) I am determined to allow someone else the chance to read this one. Francine Rivers is, in my opinion, in a league all her own when it comes to Christian fiction. Her writing is perfection and something I can only dream of being able to capture in small portions of my own writing.

"The city was silently bloating in the hot sun, rotting like the thousands of bodies that lay where they had fallen in street battles.” With this opening sentence, A Voice in the Wind transports readers back to Jerusalem during the first Jewish-Roman War, some seventy years after the death of Christ. Following the prides and passions of a group of Jews, Romans and Barbarians living at the time of the siege, the narrative is centered on an ill-fated romance between a steadfast slave girl, Hadassah, and Marcus, the brother of her owner and a handsome aristocrat. Confused and alone, she has only her faith to cling to as she tries to subtly bring God into the lives of her captors. This is the time of Rome's decline and the decadence of a civilization on the verge of self-destruction serves as a powerful backdrop to an amazing piece of historical fiction.
