Product Description
Through the courageous faith of the Christian slave girl Hadassah and the troubled lives of the Roman masters, An Echo in the Darkness continues this moving tale of first-century Rome. Having narrowly escaped death, Hadassah conceals her scars--and identity--with veils. But it is her God-given ability to heal others that brings her to perhaps her greatest trial. God's forgiveness and redemption triumph as this young woman, assumed to be dead, is called to risk her life for the one who would have destroyed her. Spanish available

Amazing! December 30, 2008
Echo picks up a year after the end of the first book in the series, A Voice in the Wind. We learn more about our favorite characters from Voice, but we also meet new and interesting characters, Alexander, Rashid, and Ezra. For me, this book was even better than the first, and I didn't think that would be possible. Marcus' journey was powerful and the ending was just...wow. I cried tears of sadness from the first book and this one made me cry tears of joy!! This is an awesome tale of God's love and forgiveness and I highly recommend it!
Only the best series of books ever.... December 11, 2008
Quick review.
Very Graphic, says it like it is. Very inspiring. I couldn't put it down. I read it in ten hours straight.
The awesome 2nd part of a great trilogy September 22, 2008
I actually enjoyed this 2nd installment more because by now I had developed a "trust" with the author and allowed myself to invest more in my hopes and dreams for the characters. I enjoyed that I knew these characters as the book opened and started with a depth that allowed a deeper story. The power of love, patience, and allowing God to work even when He makes no sense to us at the time was heart-wrenching and fulfilling!
As with the 1st book in the Mark of the Lion Trilogy (Voice in the Wind), this 2nd installment is extremely well written, historical, spiritual, adventurous, romantic, with characters you love and those you don't ... you will ponder it when you set it down, find today's reality is revealed in a story from 2000 years ago, and be challenged with lessons for your own life. This is a trilogy that brings inexplicable deep meaning and growth in your heart.
If you don't yet have an amazon kindle ebook reader, it's books like this that make it all worthwhile ~ only 60 seconds to download the 2nd story after you finish with the 1st - woo hoo!
Bon Appetit!
Great Book September 9, 2008
Francine Rivers paints a detailed picture of life in the Roman Empire. She gets into who her characters are inside rather than just how they appear on the surface. The book is Christian fiction, in the best sense of the word. The main character is a Christian Jew who is taken captive when Jerusalem falls to the Romans. The story is very much about how her faith effects her life and the lives of those around her, and it is shown not by sermon snippets but by her actions. I highly recommend the book. Much of what is sold as Christian fiction couldn't be sold to those without faith because the stories are trite and the dialogue preachy. This book could be enjoyed even by someone who didn't care a bit about religion
A Must Read!! August 29, 2008
I agree with the other reviewers that Francine Rivers has done an outstanding job with this trilogy. If you like historical fiction you will love this book. But read the first book first!
