A Certain Mercy

By Linda Dindzans MD

Description:

Zara is trapped in a lonely, loveless marriage with an obsessed gambler. Yearning for freedom and love, her only solace comes in stolen tender moments with Auriga Maximus, famed charioteer and her husband’s slave. Faced with a heart-wrenching choice between duty and desire, will she cling to comfort as a rich wife or risk her own life?
As Jerusalem teeters on the edge of rebellion, Zara navigates betrayal, the stirrings of love, and the shadows of her past. Along her journey, she encounters iconic figures—Lazarus, Mary Magdalene, Miriam the mother of Yeshua, and Herodias.
From the Temple courts to the roar of the Hippodrome, A Certain Mercy blends romance, suspense, and biblical truths—a moving story of second chances.
A story of a woman immortalized in the gospels. A story of forgiveness of others and forgiveness of self. A story of the path to eternal love and eternal life.

Book Takeaway:

Mercy transforms both the forgiver and the forgiven. We are all in need of forgiveness of others and forgiveness of self.
