Abstract

"In 48 CE when Lydia meets Paulus at the river in Philippi, she invites him and his companions to her house. Her friend, Preta, the priestess of the goddess Artemis, is swept into the role of spy. Loukas, traveling with Paulus, fears goddess worship and wonders how Lydia can worship both Yeshua and Artemis. Lydia, Preta, and Loukas tell the stories of their loves, their conflicts and their hopes as the Way grows in Philippi. When Paulus calls Loukas to come to Ephesus in 53 CE, Lydia and Loukas find their lives changed forever."--Publisher description
