Rivers Baptist Church - Christ alone - and Him crucified

Looking for a good fiction book? Try “The Mark of The Lion” series by Francine Rivers. This trilogy follows the connected lives of a young Christian girl, two Roman aristocrats and a Germanic warrior in first century Rome. Beautifully written, the first book tracks the servitude of Hadassah, a Jewish Christian taken from her homeland and forced into slavery in Rome. God’s love covers Hadassah from the beginning and as she struggles to both hide and share her Christianity in a world of idols and where serving yourself is the only real religion, she affects those around her in powerful ways. Lives become linked together and God at work becomes clear as the book continues. I’ve read this book three times now and each time it leaves me in awe of the awesome God we serve and willing to take my commitment to him to an even higher level. You won’t be disappointed! Find it now in the church library!
