About this ebook
She's always longed for more, but what if the path she's chosen requires more than she's willing to give?
Aya, daughter of Zebulun of Tarsus, does not want a traditional life. After years of being overshadowed by her brilliant brother Sha'ul, she wants a chance to use her own gifts beyond being a wife and mother. When her father insists that she marry a Torah student, she reluctantly agrees.
A dedicated scholar, Sha'ul, or Paul, returns to Tarsus to follow the instructions of the Law and wed the woman his father has chosen to raise his profile and help him earn a seat on the Great Sanhedrin--the highest religious court in the land. But when the Nazarene, Yeshua, and his followers bring trouble to the Holy City, Sha'ul will stop at nothing to silence them.
After moving to Jerusalem with her husband, Aya expects to be bored in her role as wife to a Torah student. Instead, she finds herself fascinated by his studies. Then her brother makes a life-altering decision, and she must face a troubling question: Can she remain true to her beliefs and still love her blasphemous brother?

The Apostle’s Sister is one of the best Biblical fiction novels that I’ve read in a long time. Both thoughtful and deep, it kept me immersed in Sha’ul and Aya’s lives right through to the very last page! I loved being able to delve into the lives of the apostle Paul and his sister and follow their journeys from legalistic Jews to believers in Christ. What a fascinating time and culture! I cannot say enough just how thoroughly I enjoyed this unique story!

“He saw my past and present, good and bad, and yet in his eyes I saw forgiveness and patience and longing…..” Aya is a young girl that is not much different than most young girls. She has hopes and dreams and wonders if any of them could possibly come true. Her brother, Sha’ul (Paul) is very smart and has been a Torah student since he was ten years old. With all his knowledge, he would never make the wrong choice, would he? Will marriage bring their separate hopes and dreams to life?
