Amora

By: Grant Hallstrom

Narrated by: Cameron Scriven

“If she prefers to lie in a tomb instead of my bed, I cannot stop her,” the stern patrician Leo declared, while his wife Amora observed, “In Leo’s house, I was a prisoner of hate, anger, and self-pity. Now, in this dungeon, my soul is free to feel love and joy.”

We explore the path to redemption, forgiveness, and healing as we witness the characters in Grant Hallstrom’s novel Amora struggle with their pains of loss and betrayal, the burden of guilt, and the drive for revenge.

This engaging historic epic is based on the true story of the noblewoman who inspired Justin Martyr’s petition to the Roman Senate, and is at once a sweeping action-adventure and a moving examination of spirituality and faith.

After betraying his Christian wife and her slave to the authorities, a wealthy patrician finds his life turned upside down while the slave’s lover seeks revenge. This fascinating listen will impact its listeners for a long time, just as Amora’s conversion and tragic death affects the characters in this novel.

Both a gripping and insightful read.

I loved this book! It was an eye opening view of the early Christian movement. It is really well written. It is very illustrative and interesting. The author obviously did his homework on early Christian and Roman society, politics and warfare. This is one I will definitely read again.

Excellent narration with a tender story of love

The best part of this book was the narration! So well done! The story is compelling in the real, various ways love is shown through different relationships. I'm not sure how real it is - some parts had me shaking my head at an outspoken, independent woman in ancient Rome. But otherwise, the story is tender and draws you in. I would recommend for sure

Love this story of forgiveness and belief

This is a very interesting story with so much depth and insight! Really enjoyed it!

A beautiful message of the power of forgiveness and what it can do for us personally as well as for others

I really enjoyed this book the message the historical account is always interesting to me because I love history
