      A sweet story set in 40 A.D. Rome about a young girl born to a Greek father and Hebrew mother struggling with her heritage. I enjoyed the historical setting of the book but the ending was a bit of a let down as everything finished too perfectly for all the characters. Would have preferred something a bit grittier.

      Great job!!!!! Love the way you make the Bible come to life, and do it so well. You were always my mother`s favorite author and now I`m reminded why she loved your writing so much.

      Julia has always deeply loved her merchant father. Though he rarely spends time with his family and is often traveling for business, she is a devoted daughter and the apple of her father’s eye. She can’t understand why the citizens of Damascus shun her and her mother and when the truth is revealed Julia struggles with bitterness even as she is drawn towards a new and radical faith.Meanwhile, Abigail (book 2) flees from Jerusalem as persecution increases in intensity while her younger brother Jacob finds himself drawn into a mysterious and dangerous web of intrigue on two disparate fronts. How is God going to connect these believers together in their journeys to serve Him, and what monumental events will they witness along the road to Damascus?The Damascus Way is the closing installment in the Acts of Faith series – a collaboration between well-known authors Davis Bunn and Janette Oke. Both a rich and satisfying conclusion to this series of biblical fiction, this novel takes readers alongside the lives of first-century Christians who are witnesses of some of the watershed events of the churches early years.The only ‘off note’ that I found was some odd references to a burning in the breast of some of the characters. Having come from a Mormon background I felt a bit odd reading this and I’m not sure why it was included. I don’t know if either of the authors are LDS, and maybe I’m being oversensitive, but it did strike me as odd and unnecessary.Like the other books in the series, characters that readers have become acquainted with in past books resurface in this one to play minor supporting roles in the story’s weave. However, it is still possible to read this work as a stand-alone novel. I found for myself that being familiar with the faith stories of Abigail and Alban (from the second and first books respectively) added to the depth and richness of this novel.It is here that I glimpsed the fullness of the vision that Bunn and Oke have created with this series. Though it moves more slowly than much of the fiction that I read I could more clearly see the webs of community, the closely woven bonds of companionship and love amongst the believers depicted in the pages of these books. That full, rich, emotive writing is truly delightful and makes this book well worth the read.Reviewed at quiverfullfamily.com

      The book intertwined a number of key New Testament people with the main characters of the book in an interesting way. The careful attention to setting and geography of the land was informative. Although the Spirit's work is life-changing and dramatic, I was a bit put out by the instant decisions of some of the characters. Especially the father who seemed not to work through the decision but just accept it--contrary to his merchant-mentality of "how will it profit."Also the "surreal," "unearthly" directives of the Spirit, again totally possible, but left a "not-so-real" feeling. It's like the halo over Mary at the nativity. The process of character change (for some) seemed instant, without working through. (And again there is that instant obedience to the Word, but it seemed unexplained.)
    • 5/5
      Loved it! It was very good, like all books by Janette Oke.
