This second book in the Chiveis Trilogy continues the search for the New Testament in a world where the Bible has been lost. The Chiveis Trilogy takes readers hundreds of years into the future. War and disease have destroyed civilization as we know it. Much technology has been discarded and history is largely forgotten. Slowly, the few survivors have begun to build new communities, and kingdoms now prosper in a kind of feudal order. But the Word of God has been lost for centuries. After the finding of an Old Testament in book one of the trilogy, The Gift picks up the story of Teo and Ana. Exiled from their homeland and trying to survive in unknown and dangerous lands, they search for any record of the missing Testament. Their journeys lead them into the region we know as Italy. An elite society welcomes Ana, who finds she must choose between her new life and her dream of returning to Chiveis. Will Teo and Ana's relationship withstand the circumstances and new enemies pulling them apart? And can Teo keep ahead of a powerful and mysterious force opposing his search for the New Testament? Litfin's imagination and fast-paced narrative style will capture the hearts and minds of all fiction readers.

- The story keeps building and turning - found it almost impossible to put down.

I love this entire series. It takes you a path of discovering God and Christ. It goes from being lost, through well written and imaged places and situations to God revealing himself and bringing about change. It is a great ride and found it almost impossible to put down.
Overall - Fun exploration of epic adventure
-
Well written with dramatic scenes ranging from barbaric to romantic to epic bravery. Thoughts and emotions are often expressed yet cryptic. Desires run deep and frustrations flow as the Heroes escape countless dangers, discover new geographic places and new "ancient" beliefs. Love the background theological issues and variety of viewpoints expressed as the story develops within the characters.
Overall - Worth the time to listen!

If you enjoy books that have a strong tie with actual history, this is a great book. Brian Litfin does an excellent job of casting his characters and placing them in an engaging and believable story. The only downside is the semi-cliff-hanger conclusion anticipating the rest of the novels in the series, but aside from it was a fun read.
Overall - great

This is the second book in the Chiveis Trilogy and just as good as the first book, The Sword.
Litfin takes you on an epic adventure experiencing many appropriate emotions as you follow the lives of Tao and Ana which takes many expecting turns.
You will root for the good guys and abhor evil...you will be challenged and captivated. As you can already tell, I recommend this book and the trilogy.Overall - Loved as much as book 1
