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

by Francine Rivers

Rome tolerated every abominable practice, embraced every foul idea in the name of freedom and the rights of the common man. Citizens no longer carried on deviant behavior in private, but pridefully displayed it in public. It was those with moral values who could no longer freely walk in a public park without having to witness a revolting display.

“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?”

“I gave up what I can’t keep for something I can never lose.”

“The Lord has not forsaken us. Never doubt in the darkness what God has given us in the light. The Lord is with us. He is here now. He will never leave us.”
