description: This fictionalized account of a significant era in biblical history is vividly appealing to young readers as well as adults. Here is the moving narrative of Aquila a prosperous Jewish tentmaker and his wife the sensitive Priscilla who flee Rome at the order of a wrathful Caesar and finally find refuge in the teeming city of Corinth where they establish a small tentmaking shop. The author has woven a stirring drama of their altered destiny with a stranger named Paul who appears at their door beaten and discourages seeking work at the tentmaker's bench. The description of Corinth with its blatant immoralities and pagan practices forms a strange but authentic background for this unfolding tale of simple and redeeming faith.
