In the world of biblical fiction, Francine Rivers has proven herself a master storyteller. Her book A Lineage of Grace is comprised of five novellas that tell the stories of five unique women of the Bible. A perennial bestseller since its publication in 2002, this book has sold over 750,000 copies in English and been translated into Spanish as well.
Another major name in the biblical fiction genre is Tessa Afshar, author of the 2017 INSPY Award winner Land of Silence, which crafts a compelling narrative about the woman with the issue of blood featured in Matthew 9. The Bible only gives us a glimpse into the life of this woman and the medical issues she dealt with for 12 years, but in Tessa’s hands, we gain a far deeper understanding about what this woman—here named Elianna—may have been feeling before and up to the moment when she touches the hem of Jesus’ garment.
Journey into the world of ancient Israel and be inspired to return to the Bible itself through novels that explore the emotions and circumstances surrounding the women whose stories have been passed down through thousands of years.
