Summary: Miracles, throat tight with tears, muscle twitching in jaw
Comment: An interesting but uneven telling of an improbable, but possible, story. AD 79, starting in Ephesus. The heroine, a widowed Christian given a rescued baby to care for, is one of the leakiest characters I've found. She's either weeping, speaking through a throat "tight with tears," exhibiting eyes glistening with tears, or nursing the baby. (She had lost a baby and could be a wet nurse). The ex-gladiator whose baby she was given shows a twitching muscle in his jaw every few pages. Oh, editor, how could you?
The Scripture woven into the account is carefully done; the apostle John is shown with deep respect. The struggle of the early church is clear. We do move a little swiftly over the incredible journey to Germania and a little incredulously over the inexhaustible funds of Theophilus, a retired centurion. The baby develops at a peculiar rate as well.
The crown of the novel is the conversion of the gladiator, and it is accomplished by a miracle, the raising to life of the young widow, fatally shot by an arrow as the little travelling party is ambushed. For shame - even Jeffrey Dahler's conversion didn't require that. This is a good series, though.

Summary: AVL's review
Comment: I enjoyed reading As Sure As the Dawn. It was so exciting that you don't want to stop reading it. Although the second book in the series is still my favorite, I think As Sure as the Dawn is definately worth your time.

Summary: Pretty Good
Comment: 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.
