Relation Toward Books Junia (Lives of the Early Christians in Rome #1)

As the beautiful daughter of a Roman senator, Junia enjoyed the best that life had to offer in first century Rome. She was grateful and anxious to please her family, a dutiful and obedient young woman of privilege. That is, until a chance friendship and its abrupt end sparks an interest in a new religion that will lead to a destiny she never imagined. Junia is a fictional exploration of life at the very beginning of Christianity from a very personal point of view. It shows how the attractions of the new religion were accompanied by social struggle, family division, and the risk of a disgraceful death to those courageous enough to embrace it. The author is a priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei in St. Louis.

Appraise Based On Books Junia (Lives of the Early Christians in Rome #1)

This is a very moving account of the life of a young early Christian. It shows how Christians stood out from the rest of the world, and the fortitude it took them then (just as now) to live their faith in the midst of a hostile environment. This book inspired me, as a Christian, to take seriously the faith which so many people have been willing to die for.Plot is simple, but compelling. I finished this book in one sitting (it's not really that long.)

I recently finished one of Father Gieslers non-fiction books, You See Me, You Hear Me, it was so amazing, I circled back to this one and bumped it way up on my reading list. I am so glad I did, this book is an amazing read. But I found out it is part of trilogy. It is hard to find the books by Father Giesler, for they are published under many different variations on his names. For example, this book on the cover has the name Michael E. Giesler, book 2 Marcus has the name Michael Edward Giesler,

dedicated to Steven R. McEvoy. Ladies and gentlemen this book (as always begin by the start. As usual in my reviews. Do it why you decided to read this book?) Although I promised to Steven R. McEvoy, that I would read it, and give my opinion, already I wanted to read it before he promised it to my good friend of Steven R. McEvoy.Before starting to write this review I'd like to publicly commend Steven R. McEvoy. I have to admit, that it is one of the readers, books read, already more than two

Junia is the first book in what is now a trilogy - Junia, Marcus, and Grain of Wheat - by Michael Giesler, in which we are introduced to a slice of Roman society in which Christianity is fighting to take hold.Self-described as fictional history, this book give a fine, albeit brief introduction to the lives of Christians living in Rome in the early to mid 2nd century (about 140 or so). While the earliest persecutions of Christians in the Roman empire started with Nero about 62 AD, in the mid 2nd

Rating: 3.5 I had to read this for school, and it was actually better than I thought. The pacing is good, and the characters are written fairy-well. The world-building and historicity (minus one mistake) is fantastic. You can tell Giesler is a new writer, but that shouldn't cause much irritation. My main problem is that Junia was waaaay to easy to convert. She had no skepticism at all, which I found very unrealistic. Overall, an intriguing and powerful read.

I read this book a couple of years ago but I forgot it all so I reread it. I love this book because it's so inspiring!

I found this little book quite by accident and was delighted with it! It ticked the boxes for me of being about the people of ancient Rome and also about early Christianity. I had never heard of the author Father Giesler before and was surprised to see that it was written as recently as 2002.The story focuses on the life of Junia, the daughter of a wealthy Roman senator. Junia lives in luxury and has an easy life with servants (slaves) and the freedom to choose from a group of eligible men
