    <body><![CDATA[This was an interesting book. I was sickened by the parts about the gladiators, I just can't imagine these people(young women too)so thirsty for blood! It made be feel a bit like a coward too, since these Christians would still proclaim their love for God, even though they knew it would mean certain...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57642016">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I truly enjoyed reading this book from beginning to end. It starts with a gripping, heart wrenching account of the destruction of Jeruselem and how the main character, Hadassah, survives the loss of her entire family to become a slave to a Roman family. We also learn of Atretes, a German warrior cap...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52009441">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Francine Rivers has the ability to communicate spiritual principles without sounding boring or self-righteous. Her books are incredible. The characters are gripping. The plots are clever and suspenseful. The historical research is surprisingly educational. I felt like I was there. ]]></body>
