A war that rages between kingdoms on the earth and in the heart.

Step back in time to the year of our Lord...A.D. 30.

The outcast daughter of one of the most powerful Bedouin sheikhs in Arabia, Maviah is called on to protect the very people who rejected her. When their enemies launch a sudden attack with devastating consequences, Maviah escapes with the help of two of her father's warriors--Saba who speaks more with is sword than his voice and Judah, a Jew who comes from a tribe that can read the stars. Their journey will be fraught with terrible danger. If they can survive the vast forbidding sands of a desert that is deadly to most, they will reach a brutal world subjugated by kings and emperors. There Maviah must secure an unlikely alliance with King Herod of the Jews.

But Maviah's path leads her unexpectedly to another man. An enigmatic teacher who speaks of a way in this life which offers greater power than any kingdom. His name is Yeshua, and his words turn everything known on its head. Though following him may present even greater danger, his may be the only way for Maviah to save her people--and herself.

Comment On Based On Books A.D. 30 (A.D. #1)

I almost didn't read this book as I haven't been thrilled with some of his books lately, but after finding out it was an historical fiction novel, (which I love), I decided to give it a chance and I am so glad I did!Maviah is an outcast in her own home. As a woman and a slave, she is considered the lowliest of the low. When the wife of her father, a sheik of a Bedoiun tribe, dies the alliance formed by the marraige crumbles. He is betrayed from within and so her father, in an attempt to regain

This is a story about Maviah, a Bedouin slave and daughter of a powerful Arabian sheikh. But because she was illegitimate and female, she was an outcast from birth (which is significant in the rest of the book). Her life is not an easy one and it just gets harder. (Sometimes this was difficult to read). Her father's tribe is attacked, but before she escapes he gives her a task to deliver a sword and a message to Herod. The two warrior guards who go with her into the desert are very different.

This was the first book I've read from Ted Dekker. I've heard a lot of good things about him, but this book disappointed me.I didn't really enjoy the plot of this book...there was a lot of going back and forth from place to place and it got boring. The book felt very political, and I found the writing to be kind of dry. I think Ted Dekker did a lot of research into the time period and he definitely made me see the world that Jesus was living in. For that, I applaud him. His Bible references and

This is my first Ted Dekker experience.Whoa.I really don't know what to say about this book. It's emotions. It's action. It's history. It draws you closer to God. It gives you permission to be vulnerable and human, and still know that you're okay.Anything else?No, that's pretty much it. I'm a better person for having read this book.

A.D. 30 is a fictional novel set during the beginning of Jesus ministry. Its the captivating story of Maviah, a young woman who is the illegitimate, outcast daughter of Rami bin Malik, a well-known and powerfulsheik to the Bedouin people of Arabia. She, along with her infant son, live with her father, who has despised and rejected Maviah her entire life, and with her fathers Nabataen wife, Nashquya, the only one in the house who accepts and loves Maviah.After a series of sorrowful, life-changing

I really liked this book. It had some very inspiring things written in it, that made me look a bit differently at the teachings of Jesus for myself, mainly the things about fear.The only thing I was a bit disappointed in was that there wasn't a whole lot of Jesus in this novel as I had expected. It was still an amazing story and some awesome quotes that i wrote down that really spoke to me.The book is very action packed, and not at all dull.

This book filled my dreams at night. Loved it. Loved Maviah. Hoping against hope that she and Judah are reunited when next we meet.
