Summary: Glorious Fiction...
Review: One reviewer noted that one of the main characters of this story was baptized PRIOR to understanding what being a Christian means. How many of us, upon receiving baptism as older children/young adults or adults, were perfectly capable of explaining WHAT step we had taken in our lives. Oh sure, we may have been able to say "I want a deeper relationship with Christ", but it is usually AFTER baptism that you pursue Christ.Thus, Francine Rivers was correct or "OK" in her showing this in the (said) character; she shows reality. It would be wonderful to say that I understood WHAT I was getting into when I chose to be baptized in Lake Canadaguia at the age of 12, but all I knew was that I wanted Christ in my life and that this must be a way of showing that to the world and my wanting to pursue Him and His love. In closing, the author is brilliant! I find her use of romance to be very refreshing in a Christian novel. Why is it that Christians are so scared to hear of physical attraction? It may not be one of the higher points of true love, but it is a phenomenon which is OK. After all, why would God not glorify in the beauty of His Creation. He did say "it is good".

Summary: Okay, Okay, just take a second to read this!
Review: Some of the reviews say that this is not as good a book as the 1st and 2nd in the series, but believe me, it is just as wonderful! I liked this book just as much as the others. Of course, their story only took up one book and not 2 like Hadassah, but that doesn't mean that it is in any way worse! I totally loved it! Wow! It's great, and anything less than 4 stars is a total injustice of a rating!!!

Summary: A WONDERFUL CONCLUSION TO THIS SERIES
Review: The final part of 'The Mark Of The Lion' trilogy. This book follows the events in the life of Atretes, who was first introduced in 'Voice In The Wind'. The gutsy determination of Rizpah, along with the struggles she faces combine to make this a compelling story. The author takes us on a journey into a completely different culture and it is easy to become completely engrossed in the fascinating historical side to the story. You have to admire this lady for the hours of research she must have had to do to produce such a brilliant novel. A wonderful conclusion to a brilliant series.

Summary: No words can express!
Review: This 3rd and final book of the Mark of the Lion Series was SUCH A BLESSING to me! I am a lot like Rizpah (I tend to be stubborn in situations like hers, and I am sometimes far too outspoken for my own good). This book encouraged me in so many ways... proved how deep God's forgiveness and love reach, and how dramatically they change the lives of those they touch! I was so BLESSED! This book dramatically portrays God's faithfulness, answers to prayer, and real-life examples of where we would all be without God. Even if you haven't read Books 1 and 2, this one stands alone and is a must-read.

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: This book was real good. The characters were believeable. It was well written. The characters faced problems, that we face in our every day lives. But I was apprehensive about the miracles that happened in this book. I believe miracles do happen, but I felt that the author used miracles in this book, to show that the characters did have hardships, but to make sure that everything turned out okay in the end. It was good, but 'A Voice in the Wind' is my favorite book out of the entire series.
Rating:
Summary: Almost as good as the first two.
Review: This book was very good, although I liked the character of Hadassah from the first two books a little better than Rizpah. Atretes is such a hard headed German! And I loved the character of Theophilus. The story of the spread of Christianity to the European countries is very interesting. You won't be able to put this one down.
Rating:
Summary: The best of the series
Review: This was my favorite book of the series. I really "got to know" the characters, and I could visualize what was going on as if I was actually there. The chemistry between Rizpah and Artretes really drew me in. I also liked the character Theophilus, who was true to character as the auhor of Luke and Acts. A good love story that deals with many issues of relationships and the Christian life.

Summary: OH MY GOSH! THIS BOOK WAS AWESOME!!!
Review: WOW!!! That's all I can say! Of the three books, this one ties for first place in the favorite catagory! The one thing that really blew me away was the absolute show of the power of God in the end! It was my FAVORITE part!
