I just finished Man of God. I read Woman of Sin first. Both were outstanding books, though it is not necessary to read Woman of Sin first. Paulus Valerius' journey to God is inspiring and heartwrenching. The beginning is a bit slow, and I would have liked to see more interactions of the early Christian community, but the ending is powerful and impossible to put down, despite the fact that it is one of the hardest endings I have ever read. It is hard in an intensely emotional way to read, and it shakes the Christian reader, maybe even the non-Christian, to the soul. Would we be able to do what Paulus did? I will think about that a long time. It makes me appreciate the blood and sacrifice the first followers of Jesus suffered for all of us in order that His Word be spread to all corners of the earth. How have we lived up to the legacy today? A truly worthwhile question to ponder, and a truly worthwhile read. This is really not a romance as we understand the genre today, but it is definitely inspirational. Bravo Debra Diaz!
