Description
The Roman Empire is unsettled and life is hard for the first believers.
When her mother is cruelly murdered in the arena, Viviana’s world is shattered. Then, her brother, Columba, becomes fascinated with Roman power and becomes a general in the very army causing harm.
As he rises in Rome’s brutal ranks, Viviana clings to her faith whilst quietly holding on to her independence of mind. She finds refuge with other believers but dreads her brother’s promised return.
Finding the courage to protect others from his violent vendetta, Viviana faces unforeseen lessons about the turbulence that comes with faith.
In the shadow of the Roman Empire during the time of the early Church, Viviana by Nathan Driscoll is a powerful work of historical fiction – a testimony to the bravery and integrity of the first Christians. It’s a story of persecution, crucial doctrinal decisions and living for Christ in a chaotic world.
