Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker's epic historical novel about a woman who rises to lead her people when she is shown the way by Jesus. The outcast daughter of a powerful Arabian sheikh, Maviah is called to protect the very people who rejected her. When their enemies launch an attack, Maviah escapes with the help of two of her father's warriors. Their dangerous journey takes them to a brutal world subjugated by kings, where Maviah must form an unlikely alliance with King Herod of the Jews. But Maviah's path leads unexpectedly to an enigmatic teacher, who speaks of a way of life that 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, it may be the only way for Maviah to save her people--and herself.

Review:

"The reigning king of Christian thrillers...kicks down the door of biblical fiction."―Publishers Weekly

"[A.D. 30] showcases the New York Times best-selling author's gift for immersing readers in ancient settings, believable characters, and high-octane story lines."―Library Journal, starred review

"This is the kind of book that the term 'sweeping epic' was made for."―Booklist

"True to Dekker style, A.D. 30 is a rich and engaging tale that captivates readers from the first page. The depth of insight and development into characters is outstanding....This is a must read."―RT Book Reviews, Top Pick!

"[A.D. 30] may be a genre unto itself: part historical fiction, part self-help."―New York Times

"Dekker (Outlaw, 2013, etc.) makes the spiritual real...descriptions of the Nafud's dangers--think Lawrence of Arabia--are powerfully done, as are his portrayals of the perils posed by the clashing customs of Arabs, Jews and Romans."―Kirkus Reviews

"An enjoyable read...Maviah's journey to redemption was very engaging and left me eager for the next installment."―Jennifer Fleming, CBA Retailers and Resources
