I enjoyed this book, although it was much longer than I had expected.

Press on through the 1st few chapters.

I struggled through the 1st few chapters because a friend highly recommended this book. so glad I did. A powerful message to be a bright light in the darkness till the end.

Wonderful book about the early Christians

This book transports you back in time and makes you understand what it must have been like to live in the time right after Jesus’ crucifixion. It made me want to be a better Christian and love those around me unconditionally regardless of their actions.

Love it.

I just love the way Francine Rivers brings history to action. I have read that it is too violent for a Christian writer. But it's history and that is what was happening back then. The love story is beautiful. And the struggle that Hadasha was going through is one that a lot of people go through today. Follow God or follow the world?
Thank you Francine Rivers for a Beautiful story.

A Character to Lovd

Hadassah is hands down my favorite character of all time. This series blended my favorites- Faith, history, fiction, love, and forgiveness. I've read and listened this book and the others in the series multiple times. Each time I'm encouraged in my faith, strengthened in my mind, and falling in love with Hadassah and Marcus all over again!

Well written, but very Godly

If you could sum up A Voice in the Wind in three words, what would they be?

Very Conservative Christian.

Would you ever listen to anything by Francine Rivers again?

probably not

Any additional comments?

I bought this book (and its sequels) because other reviews said that it was well written, Christian literature or not. However, if you took the christianity out of the story, the book would be about 20 pages long. There is no version of this story without prostelitizing, and the sequel was worse.

Wonderful!!

Wow! This is an absolutely wonderful book, I couldn't stop listening to it. When I finished this book I started then next one in the series, and that one is just as good.

Another Masterpiece by Francine Rivers

Her writing is moving and compelling. The love stories and written together so fluidly but it still maintains a clarity of the types of love used throughout. Godly love, brotherly love. familiar love beautifully interwoven.

Wonderful!

This was a very moving story. It held my attention from the beginning to the end. I found myself not wanting to put it down for a break. There were many relatable/recognizable parts to today’s world.
Ms Rivers is a wonderful writer. Thank you for this book.

Damn, I felt that!

It takes a while to get this freight train rolling.....
what it carries and how it carries the load is what makes it hit so hard.
You may think that one paragraph is just a simple statement or that it is just portraying a certain picture, but it is a many - layered thing.
To take a line from a certain well-know writer/movie..." one does not simply walk into Mordor", likewise, one does not simply leave the way they came after meeting Hadassah...now, on to book two - I must find out what the hell is going on as heaven nears!
