The listing, "A Voice in the Wind" novel by Francine Rivers has ended.
First book of "The Mark of the Lion" trilogy. Everyone I have ever talked to who has read this novel has RAVED about it. It is gripping, powerful, life-changing! Though written by a Christian author, this is no fluffy pastel "Christian" novel... it is gritty historical fiction at it's best, at times violent, often to the point of being hard to read... but that is because it pulls you in and transports you back to the fall of Jerusalem and the horrors and excesses of the ancient Roman Empire and the persecution of the Jews and Christians. Intertwined throughout the background of grittiness and pain, however, there is a love story so stirring, so powerful... you will never forget it. I loved this book so much I went and bought the trilogy as a boxed set, so now I no longer need this copy.
