Survival Secrets

By Lana Christian

Description:

BOUND BY SECRETS. HUNTED BY KINDS. CHOSEN FOR SOMETHING GREATER.
On the run from Herod and the Nabataeans, Akilah makes a desperate decision to venture into the unforgiving Wilderness of Paran. To reach Egypt’s safety, his caravan must survive the elements while maintaining their anonymity and protecting the secrets they harbor. Their knowledge of Yeshua is one of many secrets that jeopardize their lives. When calamity tears one Wise Man away from the others, the group’s resolve and newfound faith start to crumble. Farther from their goal of returning to Persia than ever before, they encounter Yeshua’s family again. Its ramifications raise the stakes for their cost of belief in the Hebrew God. Two thousand miles away, Akilah’s estranged cousin, Farzaneh, wrestles with the same as she tries to uncover secrets her husband took to the grave when he embraced the Hebrew faith. As life shifts radically for everyone, each person must risk trusting an unfathomable, sovereign God.

Book Takeaway:

A life of faith in God isn't necessarily easy, but it's more rewarding than earthly honors.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote this book for 2 main reasons: (1) to tell the Wise Men's story in a way that's authentic to Scripture and world history, and (2) to convey the message that there's always hope, no matter how hard the trial.
