A Voice in the Wind: Faith, Courage, and the Cost of Following Christ with Kelsey Jenae Weber

Beskrivelse

In today’s episode, we’re diving into McKenna's favorite book, A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers, with children's book author Kelsey Janae Weber. Book Summary A Voice in the Wind is set in ancient Rome after the fall of Jerusalem. It follows Hadassah, a young Messianic Jew who is taken into slavery and brought into a Roman household. Despite loss, uncertainty, and danger, Hadassah lives with a steady, unwavering faith that quietly transforms those around her, including members of the powerful Valerian family. As their lives intertwine, the story explores love, redemption, spiritual hunger, and the tension between worldly power and eternal truth. This story is often called one of the greatest love stories ever told, but it’s not just romance. It’s a powerful look at faith under fire, the cost of following Christ, and what it means to live with quiet, steady obedience when everything around you feels uncertain.
