Tales of Rome
3 primary works
Book 1
The first in a fantastic trilogy of adventure stories set at the time of the early church. Bryn and his brother are taken captive following the Boudiccan Revolt. They find themselves in Rome where Bryn is sold as a slave into a rich man's house and his brother is forced into gladiatorial combat. Befriended by no-one except Tiro, a Christian and fellow slave, Bryn tries desperately to free his brother from the deadly battles. A brilliant evocation of the life of the early church. The dynamic story shows how God helps those in need, protects the weak and shows his love through his church.
Book 2
The second book in the 'Tales of Rome' series, this book can stand alone as an exciting story from the early church or be read as part of the wider trilogy. The Christians are having to meet in secret as the emperor's hatred of them grows. And Bryn still faces danger at every turn. Will he be able to hold onto his new-found faith when it's tested to the limits?The Christian teaching in this volume is about not judging people and also not being surprised when God acts! Throughout the trilogy Bryn comes to know Jesus better and grasps more about prayer and its importance.
Book 3
Having survived a disastrous battle, slavery, and the great fire of Rome, Bryn is ready to return to one of the most dangerous and uncivilised countries in the Empire: Britain! Although he has begun to love his life in Rome, Bryn is still a Briton at heart. He wants to know what happened after the great battle and if Conan, his brother, ever made it home. Taking his friends with him, Bryn discovers that his homeland is not as he left it. And a new threat is looming: a second rebellion is being planned. Will it bring ruin to the people?
