About this listen

A powerful story set against the backdrop of today's Israel.

Nothing in Abigail MacLeod's life as a wife, a mother, and a teacher has prepared her for what she will experience during her summer in Israel. At 42, her life is in chaos, even before she leaves home - her marriage is dissolving before her very eyes, and her faith is in shambles. This pilgrimage to Israel was supposed to be a new beginning for her. But by the end of the first day, she is forced to board an Israeli jetliner in spite of a bomb threat and watches helplessly as a kind, fatherly gentleman she befriended on the plane dies in her arms.

This is a summer Abby will spend learning about archaeology, delving into the past. And it's a summer that will change her life in ways she never imagined.

Beautifully woven story

Lynn Austin never disappoints in her story writing. This time she brings to life the life and times of multiple generations of the Jewish people. Their joys, sorrows, the wars, the ancient history and the not so ancient history. She also beautifully weaves the message of salvation into her story, by explaining the Passover in light of Christ’s last day and sacrifice. And how peace is only found through Christ, through Grace and Forgiveness.

Also Romy Nordlinger does a masterful job of drawing you into the story. She is a new favorite, not once did I remember that it was only one person’s voice I was hearing.

Great History

What a wonderful book! I love historical fiction, and what history is more important to the Christian than Jewish history and the history of the first Christians? Mixed in is a wonderful telling of the gospel and the prophecies of the Messiah. Intricately interwoven stories from multiple generations make the history easier to visualize, understand, and remember. Stories of conflict, forgiveness, and redemption!

The narrator was very good. So many voices done well. I was disappointed that, during the most deeply emotional parts, she didn't have the depth of emotion the manuscript called for. Otherwise her acting was great.

Thought-provoking

Three stories, three different times in history all woven together like a tapestry. I know that grace is obviously absent from our world and has been for a long time. Even more so these past two chaotic years (2020-21). And grace seems even more distant from us. Ms. Austin is an artist and her words paint images in my mind and heart and they take root. Grace... It only works went it's freely given. It is truly very costly for the giver and is totally free to the receiver. But both are so richly blessed. Lovely book! I think I'll listen to this again soon.
