The Prophetess and The Thief
It's A.D. 66, and supernatural signs fill the sky above Jerusalem. Almost everyone believes they reveal the Omnipotent One's promise to deliver the Jews from the Romans. But fifteen-year-old Miriam senses catastrophe is coming . . .
To her, the signs warn the time is drawing near for the fulfillment of Jesus of Nazareth's prophecy about Jerusalem's destruction.
Personal tragedy comes upon her amid the approaching storm, and she fears her cherished secret ambition could be lost forever.
At the same time, Baruch, a young man who once admired her, now tests her resolve to forgive him.
If he and Miriam and her family don't escape from Jerusalem in time, they'll suffer with the rest of the Jews during the horror soon to come.
But if they leave their ancestral homes, what unknown dangers will they face in a foreign land?

Inspiring read.
Though fictional I liked the way the author wove the account of God's plan and purpose of salvation using the prophecies and highlighting their fulfillment over the course of time. If you're a believer who struggles with sharing the message of the gospel and God's ultimate plan of salvation this book would be of use to you. I love how the story highlights how God works and His person and character.
Instead of binge watching TV shows; watching videos online consider reading this book of fiction that has much to offer in the way of teaching, explaining and narrating God's plan and how to apply God's word in one's life.

Pat is a totally new author to me and her book was beautifully written - it was a wonderful story set in Jerusalem and then Ephesus I just wanted to keep reading. Highly recommended for those who love a great Christian novel.

Sweet
This was a sweet story of faith and redemption. I thought it was for younger readers. That said, I still enjoyed it.
