EXPERIENCE THE EARLY CHURCH. Forced from her home after the stoning of Stephen and persecution of believers in Jerusalem, Libi and her family now live in the city of Antioch. Days pass quickly in a community where the oppressed are in great need, and Libi finds every opportunity to serve alongside other believers despite growing obstacles and a lack of resources. All of this leaves little time to think about what she has lost, or the growing desire in her heart for what she does not have. Cassius lives his life in the shadows after witnessing the impossible and deserting the Roman Army as a coward. While passing through Antioch, Cassius accidentally crosses paths with the followers of The Way-the same group of radicals that Cassius blames for his long-dead military career. Staying in Antioch could satisfy his thirst for revenge, but only if he can avoid Libi, whose presence has an effect on him that threatens to break down the defenses he has spent years building. When a persecutor from Libi's past re-emerges, Libi is forced to confront doubts she didn't know she carried, and Cassius must also reconcile with his past if he ever aims to have a future. How far does grace go, and will they have the strength to find out? This is Book 2 in the Generations of Faith series. Read the first part of Libi's story in Jerusalem's Daughter, available now. -PRAISE FOR ANTIOCH'S DAUGHTER"Jenna Van Mourik has done it again-created a family that draws you in and touches your heart.
