review 1: Perhaps because I hadn't read the other books in this series, I had trouble staying focused, keeping characters straight, or wanting to continue to read. As the story moved toward the climax, the scenes became choppy and I felt the authors were either trying to finish a manuscript too quickly, or that they were so afraid of depicting something in a way that was not historically accurate that they decided not to stray from the history itself. Also, I didn't feel the climax of the story was well-developed. Instead the authors mentioned the event that made up the climax then jumped to a wrap-up scene with a single character without any natural flow to the end. Overall, I was disappointed. If you are interested in reading this book, I would suggest that you start with book one... more and see if it works for you. Unfortunately, I didn't have that luxury since I needed to read the most recent book in a short gap of time for a potential review.
review 2: I read the first two books of the series a couple years ago and really like them too. This third book just recently came out. They are somewhat similar to "The Work and the Glory" series. They are set during the same time and talk about the early history of the church. The difference is that this family is not fictional. They were a real family and the book is based on journals they kept. I especially like this about the book. less
