400 pages · First published 2010
In first-century Jerusalem, the followers of Jesus face growing hostility as their new faith begins to spread. Abigail, a young woman who has suffered personal loss, finds purpose among the believers who have become her community, but her future is complicated by competing expectations and uncertain relationships. As the early church struggles with persecution and political pressure, Abigail must decide whom she can trust and what kind of life she hopes to build. The courage of those willing to risk everything for their faith challenges her understanding of love, loyalty, and sacrifice. Set during the dangerous beginnings of Christianity, *The Hidden Flame* combines biblical history, personal conflict, and spiritual transformation in a story about faith that endures despite opposition.
