Christian Fiction from Tyndale House: Mar 9/25

The Peasant King
Author(s): Tessa Afshar
Publisher: Tyndale House
Price: $2.99       Mar 9 only

Jemmah has always thought of herself as perfectly ordinary . . . until she faces extraordinary circumstances.

When her mother, the Persian king’s famous senior scribe, is kidnapped, Jemmah and her sister must sneak undetected into enemy territory to rescue her. But infiltrating their adversary’s lands proves easier than escaping them. Fleeing through dangerous mountain passes, their survival depends on the skills of a stranger they free from prison: a mysterious prince named Asher.

Asher is not who the world believes he is. Despite his royal blood, he has had to climb his way out of poverty to forge success from nothing. A manufacturer of some of the best weaponry in the East, Asher has only one goal: to destroy his father. But following his escape from prison, Asher is irresistibly drawn to Jemmah, unaware that she guards her own secret.

Jemmah must convince Asher to give up everything he has worked for, all for the sake of a higher purpose he’s not sure he believes in. The fate of the Persian empire—and possibly the Judean people—hang in the balance and in the persuasive power of one ordinary woman.

Bestselling author Tessa Afshar delivers another adventurous novel filled with romance and imagination, reminding readers of what Publishers Weekly calls her “amazing talent for packing action and intrigue into the biblical setting for modern readers.”

All We Thought We Knew
Author(s): Michelle Shocklee
Publisher: Tyndale House
Price: $2.99       Mar 9 only

She was so sure she knew her family’s story . . . Now she wonders if she was wrong about all of it.

1969. When Mattie Taylor’s twin brother was killed in Vietnam, she lost her best friend and the only person who really understood her. Now, news that her mother is dying sends Mattie back home, despite blaming her father for Mark’s death. Mama’s last wish is that Mattie would read some old letters stored in a trunk, from people Mattie doesn’t even know. Mama insists they hold the answers Mattie is looking for.

1942. Ava Delaney is picking up the pieces of her life following her husband’s death at Pearl Harbor. Living with her mother-in-law on a secluded farm in Tennessee is far different than the life Ava imagined when she married only a few short months ago. Desperate to get out of the house, Ava seeks work at a nearby military base, where she soon discovers the American government is housing Germans who they have classified as enemy aliens. As Ava works to process legal documents for the military, she crosses paths with Gunther Schneider, a German who is helping care for wounded soldiers. Ava questions why a man as gentle and kind as Gunther should be forced to live in the internment camp, and as they become friends, her sense of the injustice grows . . . as do her feelings for him. Faced with the possibility of losing Gunther, Ava must choose whether loving someone deemed the enemy is a risk worth taking, even if it means being ostracized by all those around her.

In the midst of pain and loss two women must come face-to-face with their own assumptions about what they thought they knew about themselves and others. What they discover will lead to a far greater appreciation of their own legacies and the love of those dearest to them.

Author(s): Lynne Rienstra
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Price: $2.99       Mar 10-11

What if the soul-safe space you long for turned out to be what God most longs to give you?
What if your crisis is the portal that takes you there?

The world is broken. Wars shake the earth, natural disasters upend communities, crises hit our marriages and families, churches crumble under moral failure, sickness wracks our bodies. More than ever, we feel the effects of living in a fallen world.
When crisis hits, our instinct says retreat. But have we considered where we’ve been hiding? Is it in a flimsy shelter of our own making? What if you could find a place where you feel “soul-safe,” where even the worst that life dishes out cannot shake your faith or steal your peace, but “steels” your peace? A place so deeply rooted in the presence and love of God that nothing can move you.
In the pages of Sacred Refuge, meet ten modern and ten biblical women who stare in the face of homelessness and hunger, life-threatening illness, the loss of a child, debilitating sin, life-altering rejection, and untimely death. Across space and time, author Lynne Rienstra invites you to join this sisterhood and learn from their fears, mistakes, and triumphs. To enhance your journey, she adds biblical teaching, ten Transforming Truths, application questions, encounters with Jesus, and a study guide.
Step out of your isolation—as these women did—and into Christ’s sheltering embrace. Learn how to live there as your permanent dwelling place. Invite others to share this sacred refuge. And begin to change the world.
