YAHSHUA'S BRIDGE is the second in The Master’s Wall series by Sandi Rog. Set in ancient Rome, the book takes place during the turbulent years of the early Christian church. Here we meet Alexander, a young slave who also happens to be the son of his master. The book spans twelve years of his life, full of interesting descriptions of Roman customs as well as the sometimes sordid truth of what life for a Christian was like at that time. His story is woven together with several other people, most importantly David and Alethea, who carry over from book one, and their young daughter Ellianne.
In the beginning the story simply rolls along, chronicling Alexander’s trials and adventures as he moves through various stages of life. About half way through, though, the book takes a riveting turn when we realize that each one of these adventures has great significance, not only for his future, but for the lives of everyone he holds dear. The dramatic climax had me riveted to the book.
In the end, YAHSHUA’S BRIDGE is a very satisfying read. ( )
