The Waters of Parting

Jerusalem is no longer safe. The road ahead leads farther than Anna ever imagined.

Three years after the resurrection, Anna has built a life she loves in Jerusalem with Andrew and their young daughter, Sarah. She has her family, her patients, her home, and a place among the believers carrying the message of Jesus into a world being remade.

Then everything changes.

With Rome turning violently against the believers and danger closing around them, Joseph of Arimathea knows the time has come to follow the instructions Jesus left behind. Together with a small company of friends, they must leave Judea and begin a journey west toward lands where the name of Jesus has never been spoken.

For Anna, every mile carries her farther from everything familiar. The streets of Jerusalem give way to foreign ports, uncertain roads, and dangerous seas as they flee west with no promise of where they will finally come to rest. Leaving home is only the beginning. They must learn whom to trust, what to carry forward, and what must be left behind.

As the shores of home disappear behind them, Anna must decide whether she can follow the promise that sent them west and continue to believe that whatever waits beyond the water is part of God’s plan.

The Waters of Parting is Book 1 in The Britannia Chronicles, a sweeping six-book Christian historical fiction saga continuing the story begun in The Arimathea Chronicles.

Perfect for readers who love the biblical and historical fiction of Francine Rivers, Tessa Afshar, Angela Hunt, and Connilyn Cossette.
