About this listen
Can she discover the purpose of the life she's been given?
Yeshua of Nazareth has two sisters: Damaris, married to a wealthy merchant's son, and Pheodora, wed to a simple shepherd from Bethlehem. Damaris can't understand why her younger sister settled for such a poor existence, but she does what she can to share her abundance. When her husband is invited to join the Pharisees, she is excited by the opportunity to elevate the family's status, even though some aspects of the lifestyle seem contrary to what she has always been taught.
Pheodora has long felt inadequate compared to her beautiful sister but has no regrets about the life she chose. When Pheodora's husband is unexpectedly thrown into debtors' prison, she is shocked to learn that a loan from her generous sister would jeopardize her brother-in-law's religious aspirations. Forced to pin her hopes on two she-goats whose spotless white offspring could be sold for an upcoming Yom Kippur sacrifice, Pheodora must struggle to keep the animals - and her family - alive.
When horrific reports about Yeshua reach the sisters in Nazareth, Pheodora and Damaris each grapple with their relationships to God, their radical brother, and their own questioning hearts.

This is such a beautiful story. It brought tears.
I love how the story of the two spotless goats is woven into the story of the Yom Kippur sacrifice. This is a masterful story told by a master story teller. This has got to be one of best books I have listened to on Audible.
I love the exploration of the cultural, political and historical settings of first-century Judea from the viewpoint of a sister of Jesus. The story weaves in themes of loyalty and faith through terrible trials. The story shows Pheodora’s character with her doubts and fears, her perseverance and grace. Angela Hunt subtly interweaves messages of love, forgiveness, and redemption, showing how Pheodora’s faith in God is both tested and strengthened.
She brings to life the challenge of forgiving, and the strength found in faith and family and the strong gospel message of forgiveness of sins through the death of Jesus. This story brought me to tears. So grateful for a writer who not only has a story to tell but can touch hearts.
