A privileged daughter and a faithful son seek purpose in an upended world. Can they help each other give up what is temporary to grasp what is eternal?
More than Conquerors is book #2 in the Planting Faith series, following Sold into Freedom. which was set in Philippi.
After spending a few months in Philippi and establishing a church there, in 50 AD the apostle Paul journeyed southwest to the city of Thessalonike, accompanied by Silas and Timothy. The story is told in Acts 17. 1-10.
It is here, in the capital of Macedonia, that we’ll meet Kassandra, one of the "prominent women" who came to faith in Yeshua under Paul’s teaching in the synagogue. We will also meet Jason, who hosted Paul, Timothy, and Silas and the budding church.
Join the church in Thessalonike as they learn not only to survive but to thrive in the throes of persecution.
Kassandra’s privileged and pampered life explodes when she meets a woman with next to nothing. When a glimpse into the lives of those less fortunate turns into a mission to help them, her father offers a choice: act like the daughter of a politarch and marry the man he has chosen––or leave home forever.
Unimaginable loss shakes Jason’s world to its foundation, and he struggles to keep his faith in the Jewish God. He faces losing everything generations of his family have built, and one of the city’s elite seems determined to make that happen.
A visiting Jewish preacher shakes up the synagogue⸺and then the town⸺with outrageous claims. Paulos’s teachings fascinate Kassi but contradict everything Jason believes. As pressure amps up on every side, they must decide how much they are willing to risk to follow The Way.
