Keeping Thessalonica: Persis' Story
A New Testament Historical Biblical Fiction about Persis from Romans set in 1st-century Thessalonica.
In the face of prejudice, Persis clings to the promises of Jesus.
Persis is a daughter of Persia and a bondservant in the household of Aristarchus, a foreigner in a busy Greek port that never lets her forget it. Thessalonica has told her plainly what she is worth.
Then she hears the teachings of Jesus and the promise of His return, and learns that in His kingdom she is neither property nor stranger, but a beloved child of God.
The believers welcome her as family, and Paul's letters are read aloud in rooms too small for everyone who longs to hear them. But persecution grows outside their doors, prejudice follows Persis everywhere she goes, and hidden truths about her own past begin to surface.
Holding to hope was simple when she believed He would return any day. Can she hold to it now?
Join Persis as she discovers the boundless depths of grace in Keeping Thessalonica, Book 2 of the Paul's Patrons series.
