REVIEWS :AUDIO On Sale for $3.99 (normally $42.00) -> http://amzn.to/1EXBPrmFOUR POINT FIVE STARSAn Echo in the Darkness is a continuation of the biblical principles from book one. One of the main things that drives the story is the transformation that Hadassah, Marcus and Julia must face both in the physical realm but also in spiritual realm. Their past transgressions bond them to their inner selves while not allowing them to be truly free. Life choices have come to collect their dues and left in the I LOVED THIS STORY! There were so many life lessons in this book, like the first one, that I wanted to highlight! I read it in two days! HONEST! I couldn't put it down, I was hassling my friend for the 2nd book! I love the changes of each character, though I wanted to back-hand Julia. I loved the journey that Marcus went through, I loved the fact that Phoebe became a Christian and did everything in her power to do the Lord's will. I loved how the memory verses in this story, tied so strongly Second in the series. I bought the first book not realizing it was part of a series. I finished it while my husband and I were out. I made him turn around and drive to the closest bookstore!! You must have the second book in hand before you finish the first! Just so you know.The prologue will take you by the throat and threaten to stop your heart. It's that gripping. What tangled webs we weave....Marcus Valerian has bottomed out. Hadassah, now horrifically disfigured, is brought into the life of '"What do you want of God, Roman?"It was an imperious question from so small a boy, and was said with a curious blend of humility and demand. "I'll know when I face him.""Perhaps the answers you seek can't be found in something you can see and touch."Amused, Marcus smiled. "You have big thoughts for a small boy."The boy grinned. "A shepherd has time to think.""Then, my little philosopher, what would you advise?"The boys's smile faded. "When you face God, remember he is God."I'll remember what Oh my, I wasn't ready for this book. I am so happy and thankful I read this series. This book showcased Marcus's struggle beautifully. He truly struggled and found his faith and it was beautiful to watch. Seeing the miracles, the faith, it was amazing. I highly highly recommend this trilogy. Let me start by saying, "WOW, This is one of the best, most moving books I have ever read in my entire life!"An Echo in the Darkness by Francine Rivers is an absolute masterpiece. The story picks directly at the ending of the first book. Hadassah, now very disfigured, covers herself from head to toe in veils and does God's work as a healer, working tirelessly with Alexander, the physician who helped God save her from the arena. She sees patient after patient, day after day. And all the while, Be still my heart! I finished listening to this book last night with a glow of utter satisfaction, but also an ache of regret at needing to bid farewell to the characters I'd come to love so well.Are you the impatient type? Do you pray and chaff for God's answer? I know I do! There are people I love who don't know they Lord, and I want their salvation sooner rather than later. More often than not, I give up hope that they'll ever turn to Christ. This book gave me encouragement. It reminded me of The only reason why I got as far into this book before quiting is because I was listening to the audio version during my commute. Even then I could only stand the first 4 (of 12) cd's before it was ejected out of my stereo. I didn't know that this was the 2nd in a series, but I don't think that had anything to do with me not liking the book. There was more than enough exposition to get a handle on the people & their interconnections. I knew 1/2 way through the first chapter that the woman The end of this book was heart-wrenching and inspired happy but tears to spill from my eyes, leaving me emotionally exhausted for a good few minutes after putting the book down! Yet due to the incredible story and skill of the author, I was gushing with that same excitement one gets after being thoroughly entertained! Thank you Francine Rivers. You're so great! This book continues and ends the saga of Hadassah, but focuses more on the struggles of the people she's comes into contact with. The Valerian family are all in different places in their lives, some of them desperate, and they are searching for a real God who lives, not the pagan gods they are used to worshipping.The hard part about reading this story is that Haddassah is perfect. She forgives the woman who sent her to the arena to be eaten by lions and serves her again. She always has the I believe I liked An a Echo in the Darkness better than A Voice in the Wind! Both are awesome and incredible but everything came together in this one. This story is about Marcus's journey. But never fear Hadassah is definitely in it! This series is so incredible! And the ending is ... Umph!... Awesome!! Read it! Or miss out... wow. These are so wonderful and I couldn't express all my love in one simple review. just read these. please. After reading the first book in this series, I was excited to continue the series to find out what happens to Hassadah. I believe she is the best character in the first two books, and I was driven by my desire to know how her story unfolded to finish this book. I loved her story--saved by the doctor, called "the Healer," devoted to Julia even after all that had happened--but I still found some of it over emphasized and preachy. While reading, I noticed that I found myself thinking, "Yeah, yeah, This booked was very frustrating and ridiculous. I actually liked book 1 but when everything gets tied up in a neat bow at the end it made me crazy. When Julia is baptized and the mother comes out of a coma. Then Hadassah has 10 children. Please! The woman could barely walk a block yet she bears ten kids..
