Waiting On:
Title: Bread of Angels
Author: Tessa Afshar
Publisher: Tyndale House
Publication Date: June 6th, 2017
Synopsis:
From GoodReads
Purple. The foundation of an influential trade in a Roman world dominated by men. One woman rises up to take the reins of success in an incredible journey of courage, grit, and friendship. And along the way, she changes the world.Why I'm Waiting:
But before she was Lydia, the seller of purple, she was simply a merchant's daughter who loved three things: her father, her ancestral home, and making dye. Then unbearable betrayal robs her of nearly everything.
With only her father's secret formulas left, Lydia flees to Philippi and struggles to establish her business on her own. Determination and serendipitous acquaintances--along with her father's precious dye--help her become one of the city's preeminent merchants. But fear lingers in every shadow, until Lydia meets the apostle Paul and hears his message of hope, becoming his first European convert. Still, Lydia can't outrun her secrets forever, and when past and present collide, she must either stand firm and trust in her fledgling faith or succumb to the fear that has ruled her life.
I have loved the previous books by Tessa Afshar. Her writing is so poetic. She is able to write a realistic story that draws you in and hold on to you till the end. Her details for the story shine through out and I can not wait to see how this story of Lydia unfolds.
What are you waiting on this week?
