BY TESSA AFSHAR
Another great insight into the life of the believers of The Way and their struggle against Jewish disbelief that Jesus was the Messiah. This is a well-told story of Jew and Gentile both coming to understand their oneness in Christ and their equal standing in the eyes of God.
The main characters of Priscilla and Aquila are given realistic backgrounds by Afshar and she once again draws you in to what ‘might-have-been’ their story. Her research, as always, cannot be faulted as she transports you back to 1st century Rome.
What I loved most about this book was the deep understanding of God’s mercy, grace, love and forgiveness. These aspects are beautifully written, opening up hope to every reader who carries the burden of shame. And if we’re being honest, we have all been ashamed of something in our lives at one point or another.
This story replaces guilt with forgiveness through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus. Amazing love.
