When you love Jesus with all your heart, there is a deep, unshakable longing for others to know Him, to serve, and to stand firm in faith no matter the cost. This novel captures that kind of devotion and stirs a longing to follow Him with the same unshakable resolve.
The story moves with both tenderness and tension, grounded in the rich detail of daily life in Thessalonica. Scripture threads naturally through the narrative, so vivid and true that it feels as if you’re walking the very streets and standing in the very moments recorded in its pages. Jason’s resilience after loss, Kassi’s quiet defiance against cultural expectations, and the gathering storm of opposition all unfold in a way that draws you deeper into both their hearts and their world.
The historical accuracy shines, yet even more powerful is the way the Gospel comes alive … shaping lives both humble and influential, each one transformed by faith in Jesus. Political unrest, personal sacrifice, and the clash of cultures all serve as the backdrop for a truth that settles deep in the soul … following the Way is always worth it, no matter the cost.
Carole Towriss writes with integrity, crafting God-honoring stories that hold fast to Scripture and portray biblical people without distortion. Every scene feels intentional … layered with historical detail, a seamless weave of Scripture, and dialogue that brings the characters to life. I loved every moment of it.
If you love fiction that draws you closer to Scripture, this one will leave you with a richer understanding of the past and a renewed awe for the God who still works wonders today.
