A Woman to Reckon With: Priscilla of the Early Church is a novel I have written about Priscilla named in the New Testament Book of Acts and who was a major leader in the early Christian Church. The book is to be published.
Spiritual meets supernatural when Priscilla is called to ministry in a dream and when the Risen Christ appears to encourage her to rise above gender bias, self-doubt and danger. Relying on her God, Priscilla breaks through the First Century glass ceiling, even as she is freed from insecurities rooted in memories of a harsh father.
More challenges lie ahead. Her passion to evangelize is threatened along with her life, time and time again. Danger is real, from Roman soldiers and from many members of ancient religions frustrated by loss of members to the Way (Christianity).
Yet she perseveres, thanks to her God, her husband Aquila and Paul, fellow tentmaker and evangelist. Victory is hers as she is empowered to turn the Mediterranean world upside down with the Good News of the Promised One, the Christ.
