Judita má všetko, čo si môže kúpiť, okrem prijatia pohanmi alebo Židmi. Jej grécky otec, veľmi bohatý a uznávaný muž, opúšťa Juditu a jej hebrejskú matku. Tie sa však stretnú s nasledovníkmi Cesty a stanú sa súčasťou spoločenstva veriacich. Abigailin brat Jacob, teraz už mladý muž, sa pokúša nájsť si svoje miesto ako kresťan. Obáva sa žiť svoju vieru vážnejšie, lebo si myslí, že by sa musel zrieknuť svojej radosti z obchodovania s karavanmi. Ako pracovník pre Juditinho otca chráni karavany na tajnej „Ceste kadidla.“ Okrem toho však pôsobí ako prostredník medzi veriacimi. Šokujúco zistí, že aj Judita, mladé dievča, skrýva podobné tajomstvo ako on. Môže ich bezprostredná nedôvera stáť v ceste tomu, aby sa ich srdcia konečne dali dohromady? Posledný diel trilógie LEONA – ABIGAIL – JUDITA

Hlavná hrdinka knihy Abigail, je mladá dievčina, ktorej život sa zmenil na labyrint ťažkých rozhodnutí. Keď objavila Mesiáša a pridala sa k jeho nasledovníkom, objavila nový zmysel svojho bytia. Možno má jej život nejakú budúcnosť- budúcnosť v Ježišovi. Ale odporcovia Kristovho učenia sa nevzdávajú, a chcú prenasledovať jeho nasledovníkov ,,až do skončenia sveta.“ A sama Abigail stojí na pokraji rozhodovania. Možno venovala svoje srdce nesprávnemu mužovi. Už dvaja nápadníci ju požiadali o ruku a ponúkli jej manželstvo. Jeden z nich je úspešný hebrejský obchodník, vdovec, hľadajúci matku pre svoje deti. Na druhej strane je rímsky vojak Linux, ktorý je uchvátený jej pôvabom, a chce jej ponúknuť lásku po ktorej túži. Ale jej srdce nie je oddané ani jednému z nich. Štefan, jeden z nasledovníkov Krista, má charakter a vieru, ktorá Abigail uchvátila. Ale Štefan sa svojimi kázaniami vystavuje príliš veľkému nebezpečenstvu. Vydrží Abigailina viera a odvaha? Objaví sa iskra nádeje, ktorú nikdy načakala? Druhý diel z trilógie: Leona - Abigail - Judita.

"Four years after his wife's death, art history teacher Derek Gaines has finally made a kind of peace with himself. He tries his best to stave off memories. His days are ones of familiar routine. Guarded against further pain, he keeps relationships at a safe distance. It's all part of his necessary transition to surviving alone. If anything is truly responsible for Derek making it back from the brink, it's his edifying work as a consultant for auction houses--and indulging a consuming sideline job: tracking stolen art. But Derek's latest hunt will lead him toward challenges both professional and personal that he's not prepared to face. He discovered the art of falling in love again . . . Joining Derek on his quest is Kelly Reid, the new junior vice president of gallery operations at Christie's Los Angeles. She is driven, ambitious, fiercely passionate about her work--and a fellow wounded kindred spirit. Bitterly immune to men's promises, she's never letting herself be vulnerable again. Yet even as trust and affection remain frightening territory, a tenuous start to her partnership with Derek slowly builds toward something more. And soon, both will be tested beyond anything they could have imagined--in the deepening mystery of a lost painting, and in matters of the heart, which can be the greatest mystery of all."-- Provided by publisher
