<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A sweeping drama of the spread of the early church through the eyes of a young woman who has suffered much but found hope in the Messiah.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Abigail loses everything and is left with little promise of a normal life. When she discovers the Messiah and joins his followers, she also discovers new meaning and purpose. Maybe she does have a future after all. But increasing persecution is scattering the burgeoning group "to the ends of the earth." And Abigail may have given her heart to the wrong man.<br/><br/>Two suitors desire the lovely Abigail's hand in marriage. One is a successful Hebrew merchant and widower looking for a mother for his children. On the other side is the Roman soldier Linux, who is captivated by her winsome charm and could offer the sanctuary--maybe even the love--for which she yearns. But her heart has been captured by neither of these. Stephen, one of the leaders of The Way, has a character and a faith that move her deeply, but his outspoken preaching has marked him for assassination. Will her faith and courage withstand a heartbreak beyond comprehension? <br/><br/>And then a glimmer of hope appears, one she never would have foreseen.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>In first-century Judea, the followers of the Way have burgeoned into a vibrant, growing community that cannot be ignored.
