Redemption's Victory

by Sandi Rebert

In the gripping sequel to the five-time award-winning novel Redemption's Promise , the beloved characters of Jason, Ruth, Deborah, Antonius, Yosef, and Maya return to confront new trials that will test their faith and determination. Tensions continue to rise between Jason and his father-in-law, Ephraim, over the controversial claims of Jesus as the Messiah. From the streets of Tarsus to the barbaric arena at Caesarea, the former centurion, Antonius, grapples with betrayal as his nemesis, Aurelius, seizes the opportunity to exact revenge. As the shadows of the past loom larger, a dual timeline emerges, revealing the tumultuous journey of Saul of Tarsus, the Terror of Jerusalem—who will become the Apostle Paul. Melding the two together with the climax of Acts 17, as Jason’s home is attacked for harboring Paul, this page-turning novel will keep you glued until the end.
As alliances shift and secrets unravel, Redemption's Victory promises heart-pounding excitement, unexpected twists, and the enduring strength of faith amidst adversity. Will redemption truly be within reach? Join the journey and uncover the ultimate victory that lies ahead!

“Redemption’s Victory” takes us on a continuation of “Redemption’s Promise,” following the characters as they continue to build and share their new faith. I loved how seamlessly Rebert includes a clear salvation theme throughout each characters storyline and shows how God’s redemption changes us from the inside out. Though the ending could be a true “end,” there’s also an opening for another possible book and I hope she takes it!

This is the continuation of Jason's life. In a previous book Jason, a 16 year old, was adopted by a centurion. Now years have passed and he is a grown man with a family of his own. The setting is during the time when Roman leaders and Jewish leaders were set against believing Jesus was the true Messiah.
This book incorporates lots of the gospel and stories from books of the Bible. This is a very interesting book and a wonderful read.

Redemption's Victory is a passionate story of true faith in Jesus. We follow in this second book, the story of Jason and Ruth and the other characters you will remember from book one. You will follow the journey of the believers of Christ and the persecution of them, by non believers.
I was given an ARC copy of the book by the author for an honest review.

Loved this continuation of Jason and Ruth's story, and also Antonius and Deborah, and more! Jason and Ruth are expecting their first child, Antonius and Deborah are still wanting to marry, and Ruth's father is still causing problems. When his father-in-law forces changes, Jason and his family must leave. There are many twists and turns along the way, with many dangers and a lot of wonderful moments. God shines through in many ways, both small, large, and truly miraculous. Such a great read, and I'm looking forward to the next one!!

I don't usually like books with real people from the Bible in them; however, I did really like this one, as it wasn't embellished a lot by the author, but more along the lines of the actual Bible story.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, was not required to leave a review, the opinion expressed is my own.

I was so excited for this sequel, and the author really delivered! I could tell that she did lots of research and made sure to painstakingly line up her dates and facts. For that reason alone the book deserves five stars, but that's not the only reason I enjoyed it. I really had a hard time putting it down because it felt like something high stakes was happening every chapter and I couldn't look away. Sandi weaves together a story filled with action, drama, and of course, redemption! I love that she never leaves the gospel out of her stories, and every plot point directs towards Jesus. I highly recommend this story not just for those who enjoy historical fiction, but for anyone who enjoys Christian fiction, fast paced stories, or romance.

I was given an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I was so excited when I found out there would be a sequel to Redemption’s Promise, my all time favorite book by this author. The story continues with the same characters while adding many stories of the early church and what it must’ve been like back in the days after Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. I love the way this story brings the bible to life and also how her fictional characters handled the trials and tribulations that came along with strong faith, miracles, heartbreak and love. Highly recommend! This can be read as a stand alone however I suggest you read book 1 first as you will get the whole picture and understand where the characters are coming from.

I loved this book as much as book one, if not more! Jason’s life continues in this book, with his family, as he is a grown man now. Rebert incorporates so much truth from the Bible, wisdom from our Lord, and love, too, in this book. This story touched my heart over and over all throughout the story. I highly recommend that everyone get this book and add it to your collection of Biblical fiction! I am so thankful to be on this author’s arc team and I was not required to give a 5 star review. She earned this 5 star review from me! 📕 ♥️

This is such an amazing inspirational story! The characters go through many trials and miracles happen! We read about Saul who hated Christians, and it known as The terror of Jerusalem , but through a miracle becomes a believer and a teacher! We read about Jason and his wife Ruth, and the strength and struggles, but the love and trust in the Lord! I loved getting to know all the characters and the faith they have and the strength they have because of God our Lord and Savior

[Tammy Brewer · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author does a wonderful job continuing the story of Jason and his newly found faith in Redemption's Victory. This book is a combination of biblical history and suspense with a little bit of romance mixed in. The unexpected twists in the plot make it hard to put down. As always, the author weaves scriptural truths throughout the story in a way that seems natural and not forced.

[Charissa Reed · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book continues Jason's story from Redemption's Promise. It interweaves new Biblical characters into his story and the stories of many of the characters from book 1. I enjoyed meeting the new characters as well as seeing how the lives of the main characters continue to change. I enjoyed this book.
