Mt. Vesuvius erupts and persecution grows, yet amid these terrors, Lucinia seeks a refuge in God's love.
"Like a boiling teapot about to explode." That is how Ethel, the aged slave, describes the rumblings and mutterings they hear far below the surface.
Earthquakes rock the city of Pompeii! The year is A.D. 79. Standing tall above the city is Mount Vesuvius. Legends say that it is a volcano. Can it be true? Is the mountain about to erupt?
Lucinia, a young Roman mother living in Pompeii, is overcome with fear. But her husband, Corbulo, laughs at her worries. Life is good. Pompeii is prosperous. Vesuvius erupt? That is nothing but an old wives' fable.
But in Corbulo's household, some of the slaves are Christians. One day a mysterious writing is etched onto a wall. The words say "Sodoma Gomorra". And those who know the Old Testament story cannot help but wonder: will God deal with wicked, heathen Pompeii the way He did with Sodom and Gomorrah?
In Part Two of this book, you will meet descendants of characters you learned to know in the books Fountain of Life and Living Tabernacle.
