New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker delivers the gripping story of Maviah, a slave who becomes a queen in Arabia, A.D. 33.They call her the Queen of the Outcasts.

She found strength in his words, peace from the brutal word around her. Because of what he taught her, she has gathered her own traveling kingdom of outcasts deep in the desert, wielding an authority few have seen. But when her growing power threatens the rulers around her, they set out to crush all she loves, leaving her reeling as a slave once more. She must find Yeshua to save her people, but when she does, she will be horrified to discover that he faces his own death.

Ted Dekker wrote a historical fiction around the year of Jesus Big Earthly climax. AND there's a Cool Lion in it!This is the Part 2 conclusion of Mavia the Queen of the Desert. She's trying to understand this strange Jewish Messiah Guru and save her Tribes people at the same time. Both get messy.Dekker mixes parts of Biblical history with a few known Middle East Empire issues around A.D. 33. Might be fun to look some of this stuff up. Hint: the character of Mavia doesn't seem REAL - but theThis book still gets me... I saw a copy at a local bookstore and I had to have it. I couldn't wait to read it again. Yeshua's words are still as powerful and comforting, his ways still as bewildering as I remember. Maviah's journey moved me again. For all her outbursts and lashing out, Maviah is a better woman than most. At least she was willing to admit to being blind.Surrender. Surrender is still the only way to true vision.
I don't understand why people is rating this book... IT HASN'T COME OUT YET!!!UPDATE: Well, it's released now. Go ahead people! Rate it while I'm still fighting with my long TBR :(UPDATE:I'm a Dekkie, which means I know Ted's writing style and what kind of books he writes. Of course, AD 30 was completely different from his previous books and so is AD 33.We follow Maviah in her journey to meet Yeshua; and it's not the typical good-vs-evil novels by Ted Dekker but a very insightful book with a lot
Full post and excerpt here: http://www.overweightbookshelf.com/20...A.D. 33 is the resounding sequel to Ted Dekker's acclaimed AD 30 (abridged version now available) and continues the valiant journey of Maviah. Dekker takes a new approach to biblical fiction, choosing to focus on the narratives of the people on the periphery of scriptural accounts. The result is an illustrious story, rich in setting an experience. A.D. 33 is a delight for those who long for sensorial historical reading that is
Decent story with a cheesy endingI think it's only fair to judge such a book with strict standards. If you're going to use Jesus as one of the main characters, you have to do an incredibly good job. Unfortunately,this novel fell short for me in a few key ways. I was fully gripped by the early scenes with Jesus and his crucifixion. I also found that this book opened my eyes to his suffering and live in a wonderful new way. Yet, I found the shifting live interest (Judah to Saba) to be contrary tho
A. D. 33 transports you back to the time of Jesus, and brings the words of the Bible to life as Maviah, the Queen of Outcasts, witnesses the miracles and love of Jesus. Maviah is an outsider, a Bedouin woman, an overthrown Queen forced from her own lands. In exile she meets Jesus, he can see the pain she has endured, the fears and loss. He teaches her a new way, the Way of Yeshua.Dekker is a master at story telling and while I love all of his books A.D. 30 and A.D. 33 are truly like no other
Overall, I liked it. The flow of the story definitely seemed to slow down in parts, but it still worked [considering they had to travel either by foot or camel]. It alternated between first-person point-of-view [Maviah's] and third-person point-of-view, and I thought Dekker did a good job of alternating the viewpoints and making both interesting. There is a lot of exposition in the latter two-thirds of the book, which was fine. It involved people trying to take apart and understand what Jesus
