If you want an easy read just to pass the time, don't pick up this book.

If you want an exciting, heart-thrilling story, go ahead and get started reading, but be aware that Ms. Rivers describes the wickedness of ancient Rome very well. If you are not desensitized to the depravity of our culture (ie. homosexuality, abortion, violence) - hopefully you are not - then be prepared for some chapters that will wrench your stomach. This book describes the real sinful nature of man, not sugar coating or hiding anything away because it is unpleasant. The depth of the wickedness presented in the characters serves to enhance the strength and fulness of redemption...and give us an accurate picture of what life was like for an early christian.

However, if you want a book 1) whose characters will challenge your beliefs, your attitudes, your actions, and your service to the Lord and others, or 2) will encourage you to stand strong in the face of ridicule or hardship and remind you that God always has a plan, then don't pass up the opportunity to read this book!

I agree with the other reviewers who have said that the book is graphic. It is graphic...for a purpose. Before reading the book, I read somewhere that Ms. Rivers wanted to encourage christians through her stories. So when I almost closed the book because the story was spending lots of time on characters who were definitely not virtuous, I decided to give Ms. Francine a chance and kept reading. So very glad I did. The message of her story came through in just a few more chapters. And what a message. Occasionally I found my mind wandering and evaluating situations in my own life in light of the scriptures that Hadassah had clung to. Yes, God can reach the most wicked person I know, but do I have the courage to serve as Hadassah did so that God can save her? Where have I allowed pleasure, comfort, and even fear to stop me from serving my Lord? So many reviewers have commented on the transformation that happened in the Roman characters, but none have mentioned the transformation in the little Jewish girl herself. As you read, watch for it. You'll be encouraged!

I have rarely seen such ignorance as the views expressed that this book (series) reads like a trashy cheap novel. I'm surprised the story of the prodigal son doesn't also offend & they aren't petitioning to have the story stricken from Luke's Gospel (Followed by much of 1st Samuel, Song of Sol etc).
Yes many of the characters are decadent. They are realistic totally believable descriptions of the people of ancient Rome. The young slave girl in the story is a wonderful portrayal of what it would have been like to try and live as a Christian, and be a light in a culture that truly was dark. I learned so many things from the Mark of the Lion series, I learned historical perspective of 1st Century Rome; what it meant to live as a Christian in that era, and how to have the courage to make a choice no matter the cost.
I not only recommend these books, I keep giving them away or loaning them out. The 1st book I loaned out (again) and it never came back. So here I am buying another copy & not believing anyone could give these books anything but high praise.
Buy this series. More importantly read them. You will discover in the Mark of the Lion a beauty to break the heart but also mend the spirit.

I don't get where anyone would compare this to a trashy novel. The clear message in this novel and series is to trust in the Lord with all your heart. I have read this novel several times. Yes, there are things that happen, mainly Julia's character, but it shows you how Satan can ruin peoples lives and alter their course and keep them away from God.
