As strange as it may sound, it's books like these that make me think of the side figures of Biblical history as real people. Crazy, right? Well It does. When an author creates an fiction backstory about what might have led the people to being where they were at any point in history, it makes me think. It makes me wonder what their lives were like.  I found this book to be a very interesting look into the planting of the church at Philippi. I liked how the author incorporated the real historical figures into the fictional look into the story of the slave girl and the jailer. I wished for a bit more in the character depth but I did enjoy it. I'd recommend this book to people looking for more Biblical Novels set in the time of the early church.

The Sy-Fi angle was different, but I rolled with it and Jordan became my favorite character! What I liked about this story the most was the way we got to explore what it means to be a human. We explore topics of pain, eternity, free will and many more. The one negative thing I will say is how the main character is a female head pastor. The Bible says women are not supposed to be Elders and Pastors, yet this character is "called" to be a pastor? Sorry, I had to take off a star for that. Maybe it was a type of reflection of the society of this futuristic world, I don't know. Other than that I found myself fully engaged in this futuristic/dystopian world! I was left with much to ponder and thank God that even though we experience pain and heartache, we have a Savior and a privilege to be able to spend eternity with Him. I received a comp...
