Information For Books:
Paul's Patrons Series:
In the raging sea of fear, Epaphroditus finds his faith.
A priestess of Aphrodite has spoken a prophecy over Epaphroditus. A grim fate awaits him aboard a ship.
​
So the wealthy merchant's son keeps to dry land in the bustling colony of Philippi and lives the life he truly wants through the letters of his closest friend Luke, a compassionate physician who sails wherever the suffering need him and seems to fear nothing at all.
​
Then a bold traveler named Paul arrives with news of a humble craftsman from Nazareth who was executed and did not stay dead. Against everything he expected, Epaphroditus believes.
​
His new faith asks something he never wanted to face. The man he now serves sits in a Roman prison across the water, he is in need, and the only road to him leads over the sea.
​
Join Epaphroditus as he learns to meet fear with faith in Leading Philippi, Book 1 of the Paul's Patrons series.
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.
She opened her home to the church. Now it is tearing itself apart inside her walls.
Chloe is a woman of wealth and influence in the prosperous city of Corinth, and she has opened her home to a flourishing community of believers. Within her walls, weary souls find solace in the teachings of Jesus.
​
But as the church grows, so do its divisions. One teacher is set against another. The wealthy eat before the poor arrive. Quarrels and scandal spread through the assembly, and no one will name them aloud. Corinth rewards ambition and punishes weakness, and the church has caught the sickness of the city.
​
Chloe could keep the peace by saying nothing. Instead, she sends word to Paul, and the letters that come back cut deeply, including into her own heart.
​
Can she bridge the chasm before it swallows everything she has helped to build?
​
Join Chloe as she works toward reconciliation and restoration in Warring Corinth, Book 3 of the Paul's Patrons series.
One woman. One letter. The most dangerous city in the world.
Phoebe, a devoted deaconess from Cenchreae, has served her church faithfully for years. Then the apostle Paul places a letter in her hands and asks her to carry it to the believers in Rome.
​
The voyage alone is perilous. What waits at the other end may be harder still. The imperial city holds many house churches that barely speak to one another, Jewish and Gentile believers watching each other warily across the same table, and an emperor whose tolerance for this new faith is wearing thin.
​
Phoebe must do more than deliver the letter. She must defend it before people who have every reason to doubt a woman they have never met.
​
The words she carries will outlast the empire. Will her courage carry her long enough to speak them?
​
Join Phoebe on the journey that tests her devotion in Serving Rome, Book 4 of the Paul's Patrons series.
He ran from his master. Grace is sending him back.
Onesimus ran with whatever he could carry, and the road ended in a dreary Roman dungeon with a sentence waiting for him.
​
The prisoner beside him is a man named Paul, and he will not stop speaking of forgiveness. Onesimus has never been forgiven for anything in his life and does not expect to be now. Yet the message finds its way into his lost and broken soul, and the man who walks out of that cell is not the man who entered it.
​
Which leaves him one thing to do. He must return to Colossae, stand before Philemon, the master he robbed, and ask for what he does not deserve. Roman law allows a runaway to be crucified for far less.
​
He goes anyway.
​
Join Onesimus as he discovers the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood in Finding Colossae, Book 5 of the Paul's Patrons series.
Paul left him on an island where no one's word can be trusted, and told him to build a church.
Crete is beautiful, prosperous, and deeply corrupt, a place where the people themselves will admit that nothing anyone says there means much.
​
The young churches scattered across the island have no elders, no order, and no shortage of men willing to teach whatever brings profit. Titus must appoint leaders, silence deceivers, and hold a fragile community together while the shadow of persecution grows longer around him.
​
He has no army and no authority that anyone is obliged to honor. What he has is a letter from a man who believes he can do it, and a stubborn faith that refuses to break.
​
Some days that is enough. Some days it is not.
​
Join Titus as he becomes the light of Jesus to a desperate world in Tending Crete, Book 6 of the Paul's Patrons series.

The whole city gained a Messiah. He lost a brother.
James ben Joseph never believed Jesus was a rebel. Reckless with His words, perhaps, and impossible to reason with, but never a man deserving of a cross.
​
He traveled to Jerusalem for Passover hoping to persuade his older brother to abandon His dangerous teaching and come home to Nazareth. Instead he watched betrayal, arrest, and crucifixion unfold, and when the moment came to stand beside his own blood, James turned away to protect his family.
​
Now the city is alive with a claim he cannot allow to spread. They are saying Jesus has risen. Every day the rumor survives brings his mother, his brothers, and his sisters closer to the same fate.

James, who once wanted the very thing Joseph wants, now insists he has seen Jesus alive. And Joseph, who is not the patriarch, has no authority to lead anyone anywhere.
​

But the days stretch into weeks, and waiting grows harder. Impatience spreads among the believers and within her own family. Talk of returning home to Nazareth stirs something in Assia she cannot quiet, because a betrothed husband waits for her there, and the wedding she has dreamed of has already been delayed too long.

Jesus told His followers to remain in Jerusalem. Her heart tells her to go.

Will Assia hold to the promise of a returning Messiah, or claim the life she has waited so long to begin?

Experience the renewed hope of centuries of promise as Assia is torn between her betrothed and her Messiah in Assia, Book 3 of the Servant Siblings series.
He revered the teachers of Israel. Then he saw what they were hiding.
Jude ben Joseph was born with a scholar's mind and a laborer's hands. His family needed his work more than his learning, and the dream of becoming a respected Rabbi always stayed just beyond his reach.
​
He studied anyway.
​
After his oldest brother's death and miraculous resurrection, Jude begins setting the Scriptures he loves beside the radical teachings of Jesus, and the two fit together in ways he never expected. The more he understands, the more troubling the religious leaders of Jerusalem appear.

​
They never spoke their vows. The Pharisees stoned Stephen in the open, and no one will ever answer for it.

​
Experience this journey of love, loss, and faith in Lydia, Book 5 of the Servant Siblings series.
His brother could have freed Israel. He chose a cross instead.
Simon ben Joseph longed to see his dagger stained with Roman blood. When his father died and a houseful of younger siblings needed feeding, his dreams of joining the rebellion gave way to years of relentless labor.
​
Then his older brother began to preach, crowds began to gather, and Simon allowed himself to hope again. He imagined Jesus at the head of an army, a warrior-king in the line of David, driving Rome out of Israel for good.
​
Instead, Jesus chose a path of martyrdom.
​
Frustrated by a sacrifice he cannot understand, Simon joins the Zealots and takes up the fight himself. But the deeper he goes into the struggle for liberation, the more clearly he sees that the peace he wants may demand a price he is not prepared to pay.

Salome bat Joseph was the youngest of eight, and there was never room left in the conversation for her. She learned to keep the peace by keeping silent.

Raised without a father, she was cared for by her oldest brother, and Jesus was the only fatherly presence she ever knew.
