Broken But Called Series
About the Broken But Called Series: This series began as a question—what became of the ones we barely meet in Scripture? The unnamed, the overlooked, the briefly mentioned. What was their story before that one moment we do see... and what might have followed in their lives after that? These books do not seek to rewrite the Word of God, but to reverently imagine what may have lived between the lines—what heartache, what hope, what encounter with the divine left such a mark that God ensured their story, or even a single breath of it, made it into the pages of eternity? Each narrative invites the reader to linger in those sacred gaps and consider: Why was this moment included? Why this person? And what might their story still speak to our own life today? Because when God writes someone into His story, it always has a purpose.











The One Who Walked Free
Imagine the story of Barabbas—the man released instead of Christ—not just in the shadow of the cross, but in the years leading up to it and the life that followed.
Haunted by his past and marked by an undeserved mercy, Barabbas must wrestle with the weight of his freedom and the truth of the One who died in his place. This is not just a story of escape—it's a journey toward grace, redemption, and restoration.
Brother's Keeper
Long before the world knew violence, two brothers tilled the earth and tended flocks under the watchful eyes of the first parents. One walked in favor. One walked in shadows.
This is a work of Biblical fiction—an imagined journey into the lives of Cain and Abel. It explores the bond they shared, the rift that broke them, and what might have waited on the other side of tragedy. It is a story of brotherhood, heartbreak, and the kind of mercy that can reach even the hardest heart.
Called By Name
Lazarus was known for the miracle. But what came before the tomb? What dreams, what doubts, what whispered prayers shaped the man Jesus called friend?
In the silence between Scripture’s lines lies an untold story of a love strong enough to summon life from death. This is not just a story of resurrection. It is a story of being called— by name, by love, by the One who still calls us all.
The Weight That Changed Me
He never meant to be part of the story. Simon of Cyrene was just passing through Jerusalem—until a Roman soldier pressed a cross upon his back and forced him to walk beside a condemned man. What began as an interruption became the moment that changed everything.
This is a story of collision—between ordinary life and divine purpose, heartbreak and hope, burden and redemption.
From Ruth to the Redeemer
Before a manger cradled the Messiah, a lineage of quiet obedience and unexpected grace unfolded.
This sweeping Biblical novel traces the generations between Ruth of Moab and Mary of Nazareth—ordinary lives stitched together to fulfill an extraordinary promise.
When faith crosses centuries, redemption is born.
Yet Will I Hope
Long before he was tested in the fire, Job walked the quiet paths of Uz—shaped by wonder, forged by wisdom, and marked by a name Heaven would one day speak aloud.
Yet Will I Hope is a sweeping Biblical fiction that imagines the untold story of a man whose faith was formed in the shadows, long before the whirlwind ever spoke.
I Will Follow
He counted coins for a living— but the cost of his own soul was more than he could measure.
Levi was a man marked by compromise, rejection, and regret. As a tax collector, he had power, wealth, and the emptiest kind of silence. Then one day, Jesus passed by and spoke two words that changed everything: “Follow me.”
This is the story of a man who walked away from everything he knew… to follow the only One who truly saw him.
A Son In the Shadows
Before he stood beside Paul, he was just a boy searching for truth.
In the bustling streets of Antioch, young Titus grows up surrounded by marble gods and silent rituals—yet he hears no answers, only emptiness. Born a Gentile in a world that worships strength and status, he begins asking questions that no one else dares to ask. When whispers of a risen Messiah reach his ears, curiosity becomes conviction—and conviction becomes costly.
As he walks beside apostles, faces the tensions between Jews and Gentiles, and learns to lead when others still question his worth, Titus discovers that identity isn’t given by bloodline—but by grace.
The Choice That Changed Everything
Their love was created by God Himself—pure, complete, and perfect. Formed from the same breath, Adam and Eve enjoyed walking hand in hand through paradise, unashamed beneath the canopy of a perfect world. They knew no fear, no pain, no sorrow—only the joy of each other and the presence of their Creator.
But in one moment of doubt, with one choice, innocence was lost, and everything forever changed. Blame replaced trust. Guilt took over where there once was peace. Fellowship gave way to brokenness and silence.
To move forward, they would have to face the weight of what they had done and choose love again. It's the story of the first love, first failure, and the hope that redemption can begin with one step back to each other... and toward God.
Grace Beside the Rock
A work of Biblical fiction inspired by the silent woman behind one of Jesus’ closest disciples. Long before the world knew him as Peter, the Rock upon which Christ would build His Church, he was simply Simon—a young fisherman who captured Hannah’s heart.
From their first meeting along the shores of Galilee to the quiet joys and struggles of marriage, young Hannah’s life is woven with love, laughter, and hardship. But when her husband is called to leave his nets and follow a wandering Rabbi, her faith is tested in ways she never imagined.
As Simon becomes Peter, she too is called in her own ways—to trust, to surrender, and to stand strong in a world forever changed by the Man they both chose to follow. Grace Beside the Rock is the tender, untold story of Hannah, a woman of quiet strength and unwavering faith, whose love anchored the man called to help build the early Church. Journey with her through the hopes, fears, and sacrifices that defined her life—and find yourself in the grace that holds us all.
The Hope We Carried
What do we really know about Zechariah and Elizabeth? Scripture tells us they were righteous. That they were childless. That their miracle came late. But what about everything in between?
In this imaginative Biblical novel, The Hope We Carried fills in the silent spaces of their story—from the first spark of love in their youth, to the private ache of unanswered prayers, to the moment the silence of Heaven was finally broken, and beyond. What was it like to trust God—and each other—when disappointment stretched across decades? To carry a promise long before it showed any sign of life?
Spanning the full arc of their love story, this fiction novel explores not only the miracle of John’s birth, but the quiet faith that came before and after it. Because sometimes, the greatest callings are born through the longest waits.
