highly recommended

Some say that Rivers overdoes the parallels between ancient Rome and modern America. However, though the similarities are accentuated in the books, they are included only because they are historical--Rivers spent six months researching ancient Rome and was herself astounded by its similarity to modern America.

I encourage you, as one who reads much and knows good literature--read this series! Especially the first two books.

Encouraged and blessed

There are times in our Christian walk that we may not see all that the Lord is doing - yet He is doing much on behalf of His children. The power of God - through His mercy and grace was displayed throughout the entire book - God moving through every situation and circumstance in the life of all those associated with Hadassah. The faith of one woman inspiring others to look to Jesus. There were times when she felt unsure of herself - but God always gave her a scripture to remind her of His promises. Francine shows the reader how truly frail we are, and how much we need God in our lives. To the Christian, how we need to be more compassionate to win the lost to Christ and reminding us just exactly where we were before we received Him in our lives. Hadassah's character at the beginning of "Voice in the Wind", was one of timidity and fear - but God helped her to overcome this as her relationship with Him grew she was more faithful to His voice.

Good reading in spite of some flaws

I did enjoy this book, but it was my least favorite of the three in the series. My main problem with it is that it tries to hard to mirror modern society. A lesbian feminist tells a young woman to have an abortion because "it's a woman's right to choose." I think that's a little too obvious. But the book did get me thinking about things, and I liked the ending.
