Torn by her love for a handsome aristocrat, a young slave girl clings to her faith in a living God for deliverance from the forces of decadent Rome. The atmosphere of Rome in A.D. 70 comes alive in this epic audio tale, a vivid touching portrayal of life in those turbulent times. At the center are the slave girl Hadassah, a young Jewish Christian; the Valerians, the Roman family she serves; and the captured German warrior Atretes. Torn between a desire to witness to the Valerians and her fear of persecution, Hadassah embodies the position of Christians everywhere--to represent Christ's light in a dark world that is startingly similar to ancient Rome. Abridged. Read by Wayne Shepherd. 2 cassettes. 200 minutes.
