Overview:

The subtitle Hearts of the twelve may make you feel this is a story simply about one of the apostles, in this case Simon Peter. And, of course, it is about him but also about Mira, his wife, and how your life and marriage are uprooted when a new rabbi with seemingly outlandish ideas comes to town and your husband is determined to follow Him.

Will their love be enough to hold their marriage together and keep them close – when you feel abandoned and the neighbors are whispering that you have been abandoned?

This series is Biblical fiction at its best about both the disciples and the early women of the church.
