Honor Bound (Light in the Empire)By Carol AshbyDescription:
Honor had forced him to act. Time would tell if he’d regret it. Book Takeaway:No one is beyond the reach of God, and the most unlikely person might be the one to show them the way to a future filled with hope, forgiveness, and love. Why the author wrote this book:In True Freedom, the gladiator Africanus and his owner Brutus helped Aulus look for his sister after the fake kidnapping that Aulus had arranged to get ransom money for his gambling debts turned into the real thing. They also helped Aulus grow from an impulsive youth into a responsible young man. When people who’d read True Freedom kept telling me they wanted more of Africanus or Brutus, who considered Africanus his best friend, I decided to make them and their friendship one plotline of a volume in the series. As I’ve taken Brutus and Licinia, the Christian woman he blamed for the death of his wife, through painful events to a blessed future, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed exploring how God could reach a professional killer and a man who made money off the death of other men. |
