Despre această carte electronică

Book 1 in the 3-book historical Christian fiction series by the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and The Masterpiece.

The first book in the beloved Mark of the Lion series, A Voice in the Wind brings readers back to the first century and introduces them to a character they will never forget—Hadassah.

While wealthy Roman citizens indulge their every whim, Jews and barbarians are bought and sold as slaves and gladiators in the bloodthirsty arena. Amid the depravity around her, a young Jewish slave girl becomes a light in the darkness. Even as she’s torn by her love for a handsome aristocrat, Hadassah clings to her faith in the living God for deliverance from the forces of a decadent empire.

“Francine unlocks the longing in each one of us to connect to God in a deeper, life-changing way. No one reading her books will ever be the same again.”
—Debbie Macomber

“As we ‘watch’ Hadassah and Atretes struggle through first-century trials, we learn how to handle similar situations in the twenty-first century. The ‘costumes’ may vary, but our Lord does not change.”
—Angela Hunt

“Francine redefined Christian fiction—honest, unflinching, powerful, life-changing—demonstrating why storytelling is the most effective way to communicate God’s truth. Every Christian novelist writing today owes a debt of gratitude to Francine Rivers for lighting the way.”
—Liz Curtis Higgs

“Francine Rivers writes from her heart to touch the hearts of her readers. Her books are essential reading for all who love Christian fiction.”
—Bodie Thoene

“Francine Rivers puts readers right into the history of the moment.”
—Romantic Times

Evaluări și recenzii

Cea mai minunata carte pe care am citit-o, eu am varianta in Ro, m-a captivat atat de mult, ardeam cu nerăbdare sa citesc fiecare pagina!! Fiecare capitol, Tanara Hadasa o fata atat de credincioasă, Si umila lui Dumnezeu si stapanilor ei! Si totusi, se supunea cu atata dragoste cerintelor Iuliei, si tot ea a pus-o in acea situatie îngrozitoare, alaturi de niste lei, iulia o fata cu adevarat fara inima, si plina de întuneric, si totusi datorita raului facut Hadasei, si- a invins frica! Si l-a marturisit pe Dumnezeu tuturor necredincioșilor! Iar Marcus un baiat fermecator, vazusem deja spre la sfarsitul capitolului ca se schimbaseră! Si vazand adevarata dragoste! Vazand ca nu poftele trupești conteaza! Si spre final dandu-si seama ca a gresit cutremurator, facand toate acele lucruri paganesti! Si Cunoscand adevarul! Si a dat seama de toata cruzimea oamenilor! Pacat ca s-a sfarsit atat de repede, chiar as fi vrut sa vad daca, Marcus incepea a crede in Dumnezeu. Pacat ca s-a terminat...😪
