Pre-publication reviews (included in manuscript) from academics and award-winning writers have been extraordinary: “mind-searing imagery,” “a rare virtuoso narrative,” “fabulous prose,” “timeless, soul-stirring,” “exquisite writing,” “heart-stopping,” “a sophisticated read,” and “a masterpiece.”

Book Takeaway:

What would it have been like to be a woman, a Gentile, and someone onto whom the Holy Breath moved - to produce what became the mysterious Epistle to the Hebrews in the Bible?

Why the author wrote this book:

Once I read of the scholarly theories that Priscilla may have written the Epistle to the Hebrews, I had a sudden searing image of her walking with a cart, carrying something. My attempt was to write a book of literary quality that explored that theory and that image.
