A Voice in the Wind (Mark of the Lion #1)

by Francine Rivers

“Are you Romans so foolish you have no fear? God knows when a sparrow falls to earth. Do you think God doesn’t know what you do? Do you care so much for shallow pleasures that you would kill your own children to have them?”

Do you believe because you don’t want something, it’s your right to destroy it? Is human life so cheap to you? Do you think Julia won’t be judged?”

“Can you see air you breathe? Can you see the force that moves the tides or changes the seasons or sends the birds to a winter haven?” Her eyes welled. “Can Rome with all its knowledge be so foolish? Oh, Marcus, you can’t carve God in stone. You can’t limit him to a temple. You can’t imprison him on a mountaintop.

“In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father” (Matthew 5:16).
