Lydia

In the first half of the first century CE, the known world seethed with religious and political turmoil. Five world changing individuals are drawn together by ties of love, blood or zeal from distant parts of the vast Roman Empire. Lydia, Lucius, Flavia, Daniel and the little firebrand missionary, known as Paul of Tarsus, seek the unnamed and unimaginable in his or her own way. LYDIA is a novel about religions, but is not a "religious" book.

J. Butler McAbee has written a compelling story of drama and adventure against a harsh, cruel, but now unalterable historical and biblical background. LYDIA will appeal to people who take the Bible seriously, but not literally.
