A Voice in the Wind
“While his master had approved the purchase of seven slaves, he’d said nothing about buying Jews. Enoch had made that decision himself, despite the fact that he knew his master preferred Gauls and Britons. But having watched his people brought by the hundreds from Judea to Rome and sent into the arenas to die, Enoch couldn’t throw away the one opportunity he had to save even a few.
All Jews suffered, not just those who were part of rebellion. The half-shekel previously collected from Roman Jews for the upkeep of the temple in Jerusalem was now collected to finance the building of a colossal amphitheater. Jewish slaves were carrying the stones, Jewish captives would be among the first to die on the sand, Jewish citizens paid the heaviest share of finance.
Enoch struggled between rage and grief at what had become of his homeland and his people. Up until this morning he’d been helpless,to do anything to save even one member of his race.

Awesome book! I could not put it down! I Feel like I relate to Hadassa. I understand her struggles and her need to share her faith. I have learned a lot from her. I pray I can be as brave as she was.Write Review:
