O knihe

By A.D. 594 the Christian church has become divided into many competing
sects. At a Syrian market, two Christian women are sold as slaves to a young
merchant named Mohammed who is searching for truth as well as riches.
One of the slaves, Lollia, is eventually sold to the Lady Paulina and taken
back to Rome, once the center of the world, but now fallen into disrepair and
menaced constantly by the hostile Lombards just outside the walls. Inside the
city, the starving people are completely dependent on Bishop Gregory for
food. Paulina struggles with the new doctrine of purgatory taught by Gregory
and her own sense of unworthiness before God.
The other slave, Amina, travels with Mohammed's caravan back to Mecca.
There she attempts to share Christ with those around her, including a blind
girl named Aseeyah, who embraces the gospel and seeks to influence her tribe
in the true worship of God. As the years pass, Mohammed declares himself to
be the prophet of God and begins to convert people by persuasion or force.
In Rome and Arabia, Lollia, Paulina, Amina and countless others fall into
the bondage of man-made religions and must learn at last to find true freedom
in the Lord Jesus Christ alone.
