Salome's dreams for her sons are challenged, however, when they answer the call to follow Jesus of Nazareth. Is this man a dangerous false teacher like some who've come before him, or is he truly the hoped-for Messiah? While James and John are drawn deeper into Jesus's ministry, Salome must count the cost of discipleship and confront her fears, even as she discovers her own worth in this most unexpected rabbi.
Heather Kaufman delivers a powerful story of faith, redemption, and transforming love that will inspire courage and captivate fans of biblical fiction.
I challenge anyone to remain unaffected by the raw, realistic emotions shared throughout this book. The last pages of On Living Stone: Salome's Story are poignant reminders of what was sacrificed, what seemed lost, but what truly was gained! This book and the two other books in Kaufman's Women of the Way series exemplify biblical fiction at its best!
I received a complimentary copy from the author and Bethany House Publishers. There was no obligation for a positive review.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Heather’s passion for storytelling started at an early age, from scribbled poetry at age six, to a full-length novel by sixteen. Over the years, her love of writing grew, eventually leading her to earn a BA in English from McKendree University and an MA in English, Writing Studies from the University of Missouri—St. Louis.
Heather is the author of multiple books and devotions and delights in highlighting the goodness of God through storytelling.
She is married to Andrew and together they have three adorable children and one persnickety dog. When not reading, writing, editing, or accumulating mounds of books, Heather can be found exploring new parks with her family, enjoying yet another cup of coffee, or working on a home improvement project. She and her family make their home in St. Louis, Missouri.
