This was the first book I read of Tessa's and I think it may be one of my favourites. Elianna loved Ethan so much, so much so that she gave up her life with him so that he would not be killed. I highly recommend reading this book

A very creative look at the life of the woman whose bleeding disease was cured by Jesus when she touched His cloak. (Matthew 9:20-22, Mark 5:25-34, Luke 8:43-48). I had always thought of the women as being old, yet Afshar weaves a story…

Rich in descriptive prose and emotionally supercharged, Tessa Afshar’s latest novel Land of Silence takes biblical fiction to new heights. Derived from a story that graces three of the four canonical gospels, Afshar puts flesh and bone on…

Another excellent read by Tessa Afshar - one of my favourite authours for her creativity, believability, and unexpected plot twists. She is able to touch the heart and share her heroine's thoughts and feelings without dragging it out in a…

Afshar’s research into period medicine has unearthed some truly bizarre treatments which find their way into the course of the story, and which add interesting historical detail. The plot, however, is needlessly complicated by the main…

For this story, Tessa Afshar should win more Christy awards, or any other award that can be conjured. This is the best story in the area of biblical fiction that I have been privileged to read all year. Afshar's brilliance as a writer is…
