Christian Biblical Historical Fiction

The Damascus Way

by Janette Oke and T. Davis Bunn

Book 3 of the Acts of Faith series

In the years following Jesus' resurrection, the growing Christian movement faces increasing hostility from those determined to stop its spread. Abigail, a young woman struggling with questions of family and belonging, becomes drawn into the lives of believers whose faith challenges the expectations placed upon her. Meanwhile, Jacob finds himself involved in the dangerous work of supporting the early church as persecution threatens those who follow Jesus. Their experiences unfold against the backdrop of Saul's campaign against Christians and his life-changing encounter on the road to Damascus. As loyalties are tested and the risks of faith become increasingly personal, Abigail and Jacob must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for the truth they have come to believe. The final Acts of Faith novel explores courage, identity, forgiveness, and the transformation of the early Christian church. An absorbing choice for readers who enjoy early-Christian history, dangerous journeys of faith, and people discovering what their convictions may cost.
