Escape from Rome (Paperback)

Go back to a time in history when the Roman Empire controlled most of the world, and a hundred thousand men spent their days at the Coliseum and other arenas watching vicious wild animal performances. In Marleen Kunze's "Escape from Rome," the adventure begins when the Coliseum manager's teenage sons witness a bloody performance and rescue a man destined to be trampled and gored by wild rhinos. The fateful rescue angers the emperor and endangers the lives of Nolan's entire family. Fleeing from the ruthless Emperor Domition, a handful of teenagers join the hunting team Nolan sends to Africa. As they travel around the Great Sea, they search for wild animals, survival skills, and the truth about God. But will the family escape from Rome and find the Christian faith they realize they are seeking, or will they be hunted down by the emperor's men and sent running for their lives from ferocious lions at the emperor's birthday celebration?
