The White Rose Resists by Amanda Barratt

Wow.
This book is a stunning memorial to those that stand for truth above propaganda. And who were willing to face punishment to speak up. 
I really appreciated the historical details that made these real characters come to life and they will forever be remembered by me. I was equally drawn into the fictional characters that experienced the real events happening around them. I was crushed, and yet encouraged by this story of, bravery,  loyalty and sacrifice. A reminder to stand for truth and freedom. 
Though not my normal reading material I am so grateful for the opportunity to have read this book. 
If you enjoy fiction based on true events I would recommend trying this book.
I recieved a copy of this book from the publisher through Netgally,  all my opinions are completely my own.

Wow! This book has me so hooked on this world and the the complicated situations that the characters are in. It took be a little bit to get into. There are quite a few characters that I was wondering how they fit together. But it did come together in a way that was well woven and I just neeeeeed to know what happens next! One thing that I find really intriguing is the way the faith system is explained. I really appreciated the contrast best The battle between light and dark and how the truths shared can be paralleled with our world. I loved how even the characters who are on the "dark side" are complex and multilayered. They have motives and reasons for why they have made the choices they have. I don't often become so invested in morally grey characters. But boy. I am invested. Can't wait for book 2!

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.
