Anna and Andrew’s journey continues!
Book 3 of The Arimathea Chronicles is now available.
She followed him to Jerusalem. She will not leave him now.
Anna has walked beside Jesus from the shores of Galilee to the gates of the Holy City, watched him heal the sick and raise the dead, and staked everything on a promise he made her that she cannot yet see fulfilled. Now the palms are waving, the crowds are shouting Hosanna, and the men who want him dead are already moving against him.
This is the week that shook the earth and split the temple veil. The week you have read about your whole life, sung about on Sunday mornings, and wept over at Easter. The week that changed everything. But you have never lived it. Not like this. Not through the hands that touched him, the voice that called his name, the faith that held on when holding on meant watching him die.
And then watching him rise.
Anna was there for all of it—the palms and the nails, the tomb and the garden, the grief and the impossible joy. She was there when he ascended into clouds and left them with a promise. She was there when the past came knocking with a secret that would change everything she thought she knew.
Anna was there. And now, so are you.
Anna of Calvary is the third book in The Arimathea Chronicles, a biblical fiction series that brings the most sacred weeks in Christian history to life through the eyes and heart of one woman who loved him and followed him. Intimate, devastating, and grounded in Scripture, this is the story of what it costs to stay.
Come to Arimathea!
Anna of Arimathea: Book 1 in The Arimathea Chronicles.
Some wounds are carried in silence. Some healings require more than medicine.
Eighteen-year-old Anna bears the marks of a childhood tragedy that left her motherless, scarred, and lame. Hidden within the household of her father, Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy councilman of the Sanhedrin, her days are measured in herb gardens and healing tinctures, in the steady work of hands trained to help others, and in the quiet safety of a world made small.
Then Andrew of Bethsaida arrives at her father's gate with urgent business for Joseph and talk of a teacher who calls ordinary people to extraordinary purpose. A fisherman turned disciple, Andrew follows the rabbi Jesus with a conviction that unsettles every long-held expectation—including Anna's own.
When Andrew's kindness cracks open the door to a larger world, Anna faces an impossible choice: remain in the safety of her father's estate or risk everything for the possibility of healing, love, and a life she never dared imagine.
Set against the dusty roads and fishing villages of first-century Judea, where miracles unfold and mercy walks among the broken, Anna of Arimathea opens The Arimathea Chronicles—a richly imagined tale of faith, first love, and redemption in the footsteps of the Messiah.
Anna of Arimathea is perfect for readers who love:
Biblical and historical fiction with rich period detail
Redemptive love stories that explore the cost of faith
Immersive historical worlds
Characters who choose courage over comfort
