About this listen

A woman with a devastating secret. A man bent on proving his worth. A chance encounter that catapults them into the heart of history.

When the daughter of a prominent Roman general meets a disinherited Jewish immigrant, neither one can dream of God's plan to transform them into the most influential couple of the early church. Nor can they anticipate the mountains that will threaten to bury them. Their courtship unwittingly shadowed by murder and betrayal, Priscilla and Aquila slowly work to build a community of believers, while their lives grow increasingly complicated thanks to a shaggy dog, a mysterious runaway, and a ruthless foe desperate for love. But when they're banished from their home by a capricious emperor, they must join forces with an unusual rabbi named Paul and fight to turn treachery into redemption.

With impeccable research and vivid detail, Daughter of Rome is both an emotive love story and an immersive journey through first-century Rome and Corinth, reminding listeners once again why Debbie Macomber has said that "no one brings the Bible to life like Tessa Afshar."

I kept expecting something different in the end of the story. I love how Gods love and forgiveness is so well delivered.

So well Written

I was impressed with the author's ability to make people from a couple of thousand years ago seem like friends I would like to spend time visiting. The story was excellent, and very true to the Bible. I'm thankful that talented people are doing things that bring glory to the Father.

Very true to Biblical principles.

There premise for this idea was intriguing, and I did enjoy many aspects of this book. I’m a huge Tessa Afshar fan, but I was disappointed in this book. It read a little too much like a romance novel, and it got a little too graphic for my personal taste. I would say the romance scenes in this book were more descriptive than her other books. Also I found Aquila’s character a little trite, and very typical of the male in a romance novel- saying all the things a woman would supposedly want to hear, but it didn’t really ring true to the period in which it was written. I suppose it’s entirely possible Aquila would have said those things, we really have no way of knowing, but I sincerely doubt it.
It was a good listen, but I wouldn’t buy a hard copy of this one.

Interesting, but not as good as the author’s other books.

This is an amazing story about God’s love and learning how to forgive yourself. About being the better person no matter what others do to you. Finding that inner peace by having faith in God and sharing that faith with others

Amazing
