Thrones in the Desert

A Novel Based on the Book of Luke

By: Doug Peterson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

If you love the TV series, THE CHOSEN, you'll love THRONES IN THE DESERT.

THRONES IN THE DESERT does what no Biblical novel has done before. It weaves the story of five fictional characters through twelve chapters, with each chapter corresponding to the first twelve chapters of the Book of Luke.

The five main characters--a tax collector, a slave, a guard in Herod's Palace, a Pharisee, and the daughter of a Zealot--have all placed a false god on a throne in their life, only to see it overturned by the rabbi from Nazareth.

"He has brought down rulers from their thrones. He has lifted up the humble," said Mary, the mother of Jesus, to her cousin Elizabeth, when both women were expecting children of great promise. In THRONES IN THE DESERT, a young girl named Eliana overhears Mary's proclamation but is unaware of the approaching storm in her life--and the Messiah's ability to calm storms.

Follow Eliana and four others as they encounter Jesus. Their stories will challenge you to ask: What have you placed on the throne in your life?

Awesome!

5 stars for any author who can bring the gospel into such a creative novel. I felt like I was a bystander watching Jesus myself!

The story is great! The AI narration is not!

If using AI to narrate a story based on the Bible, can't AI be trained to pronounce the Biblical names and words? Took me awhile to realize that a name being pronounced Jer-em-e-ay or Jer-em-e-uh was supposed to be the name Jeremiah!

Had the story not been such a great one, it never would have been listened to.

The story of Luke- come to life

Excellent story of fictional characters that bring the story of Jesus come to life as portrayed in the book of Luke.

Excellent and intriguing

This telling of the book of Luke is well done. The historical characters and their words are maintained well while weaving in the stories of fictional characters.

Biblical fiction steadily held my interest through the book

I want to hear the next in the series, but not with AI Audible. Enjoyable mix of characters - enjoyed the animals too.
