FIRST LIGHT: A.D. Chronicles, Book 1 by Bodie Thoene, Brock Thoene, read by Sean Barrett, Oasis Audio, 2008, 14 hrs., Thirteen CDs, Unabridged, CD ISBN 9781598595000
Sean Barrett depicts multiple emotions—especially fear, passion, and excitement—in a wide array of characters. The story begins in modern-day Israel and then moves to Palestine during the time of the New Testament. The harrowing story of Peniel, a beggar blind from birth, is fraught with excitement as he yearns for the Messiah to come and bring peace. Suspense and romance also play a part in this wonderful story, the first of 10 in the A.D. Chronicles series. Barrett adds just the right touches of drama to keep one glued to one’s earphones. N.L.
