Then unbearable betrayal robs her of nearly everything.

wonderful Biblical historic fiction
you can tell the author did a lot of research on this not only in the Bible but another historical books that are available during the Bible days. It brought so much to light and life in this period of time. nowhere does the bible say that Steven was married but that's the historical part of it and that's what makes the read even more wonderful. it's not a sexually explicit book thank heavens it is a beautiful beautifully done story of the early church.

Love The History
What a great way to review the history of the early church! The story is interesting, however, the author's stories tend to drag on a bit. Conversations with too much elaboration. I find myself losing interest in wanting them to get to the point or move on. I also think that it’s not good to use real historical characters and put words in their mouth and attribute actions to them, particularly when it’s biblical people, because it can lead people to form opinions that are not true or to think something happened that didn’t. With the things of God, it’s critical that things be accurate.
This is one of my favorite narrators. Her voice is pleasant, she sounds authentic when acting, and her characters' voices are good. .

Disappointed!
I do not like how this ended and I really despise the fact that you are almost forced to buy this short book 2 because book 1 leave you in suspense!! I hardly EVER buy Short books. This is totally not right and not fair. I hope you read this review before you start book 1🤭 However, the story is very interesting especially since I know the Bible story already.
