I don’t read much Christian fiction; I find that all too often, the message gets in the way of the story, and a book can quickly degenerate into preaching. I hear great preaching every Sunday, so I don’t need mediocre preaching disguised as a story. Every once in awhile, however, I find a book that has a good message embedded in a good story. A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers is such a book. Several decades after the events of the first Easter, the Christian church is slowly growing. Many of the early Christians are Jews, like Hadassah and her family. Hadassah’s father was raised by Jesus from the dead, and he has made it his mission to tell his story to as many of Jerusalem’s Jews as he can. But the Jewish people have rebelled against their Roman overlords one time too many. The Romans sack Jerusalem, destroying the Temple and killing many Jews, including Hadassah’s mother, father, brother and sister. Hadassah herself is sold into slavery to a family in Rome. The Valerian family is wealthy, but unhappy. Decimus, the father, is dying slowly from a sickness. His son, Marcus is only concerned with making money, and daughter Julia just wants to have some fun and excitement. Can Hadassah overcome her fear and share her Good News with her owners? Will the Valerians be able to find true happiness? I enjoyed the historical setting, and Rivers gives a large number of accurate historical details to make the setting even better. A few times, her word choice was jarringly modern, but for the most part, the story fit my knowledge of the times of the early church. The characters were all interesting, and while Hadassah could have been a perfect heroine, Rivers did a good job of making her believable and realistic.

** spoiler alert ** I have to say that I really enjoyed the beginning of the last book in the Twilight Saga. Seeing Edward and Bella together, finally getting married and agreeing that she would become a vampire. Ever since the first book, that had been a debate amongst this extraordinary couple. But, the joyous first few chapters were the lull before the storm. I had been wary of the moral undertone that appeared in Eclipse, where Edward wanted to preserve Bella's soul by getting married before making her a vampire and sleeping with her. My worries were correct because Meyer took it even further when Bella became pregnant on her honeymoon and she refuses to give up the child, even though it is killing her. It really irritated me that these strong religious undertones were seeping through the love story I fell in love with in the first novel. But, I kept reading... Things got worse. Then, I had to read, in excruciating detail, about how awful the pregnancy was for Bella. How Jacob planned on killing Edward for doing all of this to Bella and so on. But him planning to murder the child only to imprint her was way over the top. Even though the story seemed a bit too wrapped up in a nice bow, I gave Meyer the benefit of the doubt. I knew it would turn around. And, it did. Finally having Bella become a vampire was amazing! The details she saw; the differences in her life; her self control were what I had been waiting for. Meyer did a fantastic job of portraying Bella in her new, strong body. Becoming a vampire was everything she had hoped for and more. She and Edward had a child and a loving extended family, which also included her Jacob. From that point on, I was hooked once again. It was wonderful to see Bella's role transform from helpless to powerful protector. She was still willing to sacrifice herself to save her loved ones, but now she had power. Meyer was able to completely change my opinion of the book. I would definitely look forward to another novel, but there was the final “The End” on the last page, so I doubt that a continuation is coming. Thank you Stephenie Meyer, for making an unlikely pair of complex characters capture my heart and imagination.
