Publisher's summary

The fledgling church is being scattered by persecution. It is spearheaded by a fanatical young Pharisee who does not realize he is unwittingly aiding a divine mandate to spread the truth “unto the ends of the earth …”Young Julia has everything money can buy —except for acceptance by either Gentiles or Judeans in Tiberias. When she discovers the secret her beloved Greek father has kept all these years, she is devastated. Julia and her Hebrew mother are indeed less than second-class citizens. Her future is dark with clouds of uncertainty. Jacob, Abigail’s brother, is now a young man attempting to find his own place among the community of believers. Does it mean trading away the exhilaration and adventure of his current profession as a caravan guard? Hired by Julia’s father to protect a wealthy merchant’s caravans on the secretive “Frankincense Trail,” Jacob also reluctantly takes on the perilous responsibility of passing letters and messages between communities of believers now dispersed across the land. He is alarmed to discover that Julia, hardly more than a girl, is also a courier. Can their initial mistrust be put aside to accomplish their mission? An earthshaking encounter on the way to Damascus has repercussions far beyond the lives of Julia and Jacob.

A must for any Christian!

What about Susan Lyons’s performance did you like?

I really liked her at first but by the 3rd book she gets a little to sweet sounding if that makes any since.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was moved by the faith that the people had!

Great series

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, this is an interesting view into what it may have been like in the early church.

You will be blessed!

I just finished reading and listening to all three in this series of books. I absolutely loved each one of them! The reader was fabulous and the stories can't be beat. I am male and 10 tool of historical fiction on the action side. my wife told me about these because she loved them. I enjoy them as much as she did. I hope that there are more books written by these folks in the same time period!

Mixed feelings

This is a very good story and adds such fullness to the history of the early church. I think it could have used some editing. The author expounds too much and the characters wax philosophical until it loses my attention. Get to the point and move on.

I usually love this narrator, but there wasn't enough variety in the different character's voices, and the 5-year-old's voice sounded like an adult or teen.
