A sweeping epic set in the harsh deserts of Arabia and ancient Palestine. A war that rages between kingdoms on the earth and in the heart. The harrowing journey of the woman at the center of it all. Step back in time to the year of our Lord...A.D. 30. The outcast daughter of one of the most powerful Bedouin sheikhs in Arabia, Maviah is called on to protect the very people who rejected her. When their enemies launch a sudden attack with devastating consequences, Maviah escapes with the help of two of her father's warriors--Saba who speaks more with is sword than his voice and Judah, a Jew who comes from a tribe that can read the stars. Their journey will be fraught with terrible danger. If they can survive the vast forbidding sands of a desert that is deadly to most, they will reach a brutal world subjugated by kings and emperors. There Maviah must secure an unlikely alliance with King Herod of the Jews. But Maviah's path leads her unexpectedly to another man. An enigmatic teacher who speaks of a way in this life which offers greater power than any kingdom. His name is Yeshua, and his words turn everything known on its head. Though following him may present even greater danger, his may be the only way for Maviah to save her people--and herself.

My first book from Ted Dekker... and it was GREAT! I believe this book is much different than Dekker's usual suspense novels (I believe so, although I haven't read them yet). A.D. 30 stands alone in its poignancy and intimacy with Yeshua.
I was met with action, history, deep emotion, love. And Jesus.
So much Biblical information did I learn -- about the Bedouin and Thamud tribes living in Israel and Palestine -- about camels -- about the desert -- about Herod -- about how Jesus was perceived in the eyes of the people who flocked after him. This fictional book shows a Christian how little we think we know about the ancient stories of the Bible -- the culture of the peoples and how things appeared to them as the actual events took place. It's not always the same as how we in modern day remember an old Bible story.
The drama builds as the pages whip by. As I neared the final chapters, I could hardly see how the story could come to a satisfactory end in what little remained. I fought for Maviah and willed her to continue on the journey her father requested of her -- even though fate seemed against her. The path to faith and forgiveness is showcased well.
I've heard there is a sequel coming in late 2015, and I eagerly await its publication.
