Hello, all!
Just stopping in quickly to tell you of a fun happening—remember the giveaway we had last week with Alicia A. Willis? She sent me an email this morning, telling me that one of her books is going to be FREE for two days (today and tomorrow) on Kindle.
“I felt the Lord strongly impressing me to make it free for the sake of the gospel presentation contained in the book.”
I thought that for those of you who didn’t win the giveaway, you might want to check this book out! I’ve been wanting to read it ever since it’s release probably around a year ago, and so I’m super excited to now have a chance.
Here’s a little about From the Dark to the Dawn: A Tale of Ancient Rome:
Decadent Rome, 61 Anno Domini. The masters of the universe have crushed the Iceni rebellion with an iron hand, slaughtering and enslaving her people.
For Philip, his existence as a captive means living to hatred. He despises his rich, young master, resenting his life of servitude and the wrestling feats Marcus forces him to perform. Bitterness engulfs his soul until he only lives for the day when he will crush the might of Rome.
Then Christianity enters the picture. Taught by a Jewish breadmaker to know the man called Christus, Philip begins the struggle to forgive and honor his master. But forgiveness is not easy towards one who lives for himself.
Marcus Virginius knows nothing but power and pleasure. Destined to a successful career serving Nero in the Praetorian Guard, he wants no part of Christianity. And he is determined to crush Philip’s newfound faith – no matter what it takes.
Join Philip and Marcus in their journey of redemption, faith, and forgiveness. Is love enough to conquer hate? And will the light of the gospel ever surmount the darkness of Rome?
Persecution abounds – will the two young men survive its terrors and live to experience the bright hope of a new dawn?
One last note from Alicia:
“If you know anyone who is unsaved or struggling, please share it with them. It's God's book...let's see what He does with it!”

I hope you’ll be encouraged and inspired by this book, as I know I will be!

Thanks for the heads-up! I got this book back on Saturday, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well-written and well-edited it was. It sucked me in and didn't let go. Based on how good this book was, I think I'll check out the Birmingham Castle series.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome! I got the book too, but haven't had time to read it yet. Looking forward to it, though! Do check them out--I think you'll enjoy them as well.
