Synopsis

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?

AD 30. The story brings two parallel stories of brother and sister. They both get married and arrive in Jerusalem, first Sha’ul with his wife, then Aya with her husband. Aya’s future was decided for her at sixteen. She didn’t want to marry, but she also didn’t have a choice. She didn’t want to follow......more

Goodreads review by Kristianne on May 18, 2022

Touching and convicting, The Apostle’s Sister follows Paul’s sister Aya as she discovers her place in the world and learns how to find beauty amid the ashes of disappointment and grief. It’s not a story driven by high-paced action and gripping tension, but rather a deeply soulful tale about a woman......more

Goodreads review by Erin on May 14, 2022

Another wonderful biblical historical novel by Angela Hunt! This is the 4th book in the Jerusalem Road series, but is not connected story-wise to the others, so it can definitely be read on its own. They are connected solely as taking place in the time of Jesus's ministry and immediately following.......more

Goodreads review by Kelly-Ann ~ Sassy Bookish Mama on September 08, 2022

This past year I have really gotten into the Biblical Fiction genre. Not knowing too much about the authors who write this beautiful genre I usually go by recommendations or they literally just drop into my mailbox for review! That is the case with this book. I have never read anything by this autho......more

Goodreads review by (Katie) Paperbacks on June 04, 2022

This is the fourth book in the Jerusalem Road series, although I've heard that they can be read separately and don't connect. I have not read the others in the series, but since I've read this one I will definitely pick up the rest of the series to read. I really loved Angela Hunt's character and sto......more
