The Damascus Way is the final book in the Acts of Faith trilogy. Yet again, this story reminded me how dangerous being a member of the early church really was. Persecution came from all sides. Yet the believers' faith and network of followers was strong. Like The Centurion's Wife and The Hidden Flame, this story drew me in and didn't let go until I finished the book, leading to several late nights of feverish reading. I was a little disappointed in the way the authors chose to end the story (and the series), but this was still a wonderful way to while away a few nights.

I think that this may actually have been my favorite book of the series. I WAS left wanting more at the end though! Throughout the whole series, the authors have made the characters seem to live and breath. This book really put the exclamation point on how dangerous it was for the new Church. It also made me intensely grateful that I can openly proclaim my faith, read my Bible in public places and pray freely with other believers.
This is definitely a Christian fiction book, but I believe that it would be a good book/series for any who are interested in the historical aspects and political climate of that time. It moves smoothly thru the chapters and you find yourself aching for the characters in those perilous times.
