Product Information

The lesson of the book (the theme) is based on Romans 8:28, which the author stated in her "Dear Reader" after the end of the story. All Christians likely know this verse by heart: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Pelonia's trial, her darkest days, witnessed to a man who did eventually turn his life around to serve God just as Pelonia did.

Adam Peaty shows you how to take more control of your life and helps you both discover and develop your talents. He shares his own ten secrets to a winning mental attitude, whether it be at home, at work, on the sports field, or within ourselves. As Brea reveals more about her past, Vita is forced to question the validity of her previous privileged lifestyle. And then comes the horrific realisation that her fiancé and maybe even her beloved father may not have been all they appeared. Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was so good! I loved the unique storyline and the setting, in ancient Rome. The story had great descriptions and atmosphere. There was the horror and tension of the Christian slaves being murdered in the arena. Caros, trying to understand Pelonia’s devotion to Christ. The building trust and love between Pelonia and Caros. I also liked the secondary characters, some who have their own stories in other books in this series, which I look forward to reading.As they stepped out on to the sand, the air about them exploded in a frenzy of cheers and wild yelling, accompanied by the thunder of trumpets and the steady beat of the drums.

Das Thema, dass Scarrow dieses mal aufgreift ist Sklaverei. Ein Thema, was damals wie heute eine große Rolle spielt. Die Probleme und moralischen Schwierigkeiten, auf die die Protagonisten stoßen, existieren unserer Zeit genauso wie damals, bloß ist Sklaverei mittlerweile modernisiert worden und nennt sich nicht mehr so. Indem Scarrow beide Perspektiven, die der Sklaven und die der Herren, darstellt, macht er klar, dass das Thema doch komplizierter ist, als man es gerne darstellt. This is actually one of the better books in the series so far as there's relatively little of the trudging rehashing, turgid gnashing of teeth or spell of repetition that made the previous books so frustrating.Carla Capshaw knows how to write a breath-stealing romance. She adds just the right amount of bait on the line to reel fans of romantic historical fiction in to her tale of inspired love. Fans of The Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers will enjoy this book. While this story had to be a tad kinder and gentler due to the Love Inspired label, I still found it to be edgy enough to be enjoyable.
