Beautifully Written Biblical Novel

"Priscilla and Aquila" is an amazing book full of romance, history, adventure, and a correct portrayal of two Biblical characters that you only see a quick glimpse of in Scripture. Lois T. Henderson did wonders with this book, making the young couple become real people who went through many trials and tribulations beyond their control. Set in the days of the Apostle Paul's 2nd missionary journey, the author gracefully weaves history and Biblical truth into an intriguing novel. The book begins in the city of Rome, then Corinth, and finally Ephesus, where Priscilla and Aquila glean from Paul's teaching. The three missionaries travel together, work together, and share the common bond of being Jehovites and Followers of the "Way". While reading the book you see a completely different perspective on Paul, his life and ministry for Jesus Christ. It portrays not only Paul's fervor in his ministry but also Priscilla's love for learning and teaching. This book gives so much insight into God's Word and provides several special examples of those who lived to honor God and devoted their very beings to serve Him by stepping out on the limb of strong faith. I definitely recommend this book to those of you who really want to dig deeper into Scripture, who want to experience a book that not only provides incomparable entertainment, but also enlightens an amazing passage of God's Word with two very special, unknown characters.
