Abstract

Second release in the Daughter of Jerusalem series, inaugurated with Daughter of Jerusalem (1999).

In Woman of Means, Lemmons explores of what happened to Lydia after she arrived in the Roman colony of Philippi in the summer of 28 AD with her two children and the hopes of creating a better life for herself, and became Paul's first European convert.

"In this second release in the Daughters of Jerusalem series, Thom Lemmons explores the question of what happened to Lydia, Paul's first European convert. Woman of Means uses strong characters and an imaginative plot to take readers to biblical times for possible answers. As readers view the struggles of life through fresh eyes, they will be reminded of the commonality of all human struggle and our shared need for God's grace. All those who seek to run well in the race of life will be inspired by the story of a young widow whose indomitable will helps her to survive, and whose restless soul leads her to God."--Publisher description.
