Commentary Supposing Books A.D. 33 (A.D. #2)
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. Maviah, a woman whose fate was sealed on her birth by this world-unwanted, illegitimate, female, a slave-subject to the whims of all. But then she met a man named Yeshua who opened her eyes. 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. Enter a story full of intrigue, heart-wrenching defeat, uncompromising love and staggering victory-one that re-examines everything you thought you knew about the heart of Jesus's stunning message and the power that follows for those who follow his easily forgotten way.

I wanted to like it. I really did, but a lot of it came off as cheesy. Im a fan of Ben-Hur type stories and I liked A.D. 30, so I grabbed this. I didnt mind Judahs death. It fact I think it propels the story. My big problem with this is all the moments with Yeshua seemed forced. It made it hard to read.The strength of this work is in its expression of profound spiritual truths found in the simple gospel of the resurrected Christ. I am not even sure what I think of the writing, the plot, or the historical accuracy, and it doesn't matter because I am changed. I am reminded of who I am, and of the way so often forgotten.
I thoroughly enjoyed returning to the story of Maviah. I loved the way Dekker brought Yeshua into the story in unexpected ways, allowing Him to interact with these fictional characters while sharing His recorded words and never putting made-up words into His mouth. The story stirred by heart and made me envision so much about those days leading up to the crucifixion and on until Pentecost. Highly recommended, but I suggest you read A.D. 30 before you read A.D. 33.
"Forgive me," I whispered. It was all I could press past my aching throat.I was only dimly aware that the march of death had passed through the gates leading up to GolgothaThe Romans were going to crucify Yeshua.After eating up A.D. 30, I was anxious to find out right away what would happen next to the characters.I started and stuck with A.D. 33 to find out. But unfortunately, around a third or halfway into the read, I stopped enjoying it, with its one miserable turn of events after another.In
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
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 the
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
