Product Description
As the lives of Vinicius and Ligia intertwine, they watch the world they know change before their eyes. While the apostles Peter and Paul seek to save the immoral city from ruin, Christians are brutally martyred in the Coliseum and Rome burns.
Quo Vadis, part of Focus on the Family Great Stories collection, vividly captures all the madness and suspense of one of history’s most unforgettable chapters. Richly detailed and historically accurate picture of Rome in the time of Nero. Set against the barbarity and sensuality of Nero’s Rome it portrays the agony and the glory of the early Church.
Word of caution: there are a few instances of sensuality realistically portrayed.
