Every road to faith begins somewhere. For the characters in The Samaritan’s Road—and for me as its author—that road winds through doubt, discovery, and the quiet places where grace finally takes hold.
This upcoming Christian fiction novel invites readers into a modern pilgrimage across Israel, where a group of college students embarks on what should have been a simple study trip. Each one carries hidden questions about belief, loss, and identity—questions that resurface when they uncover a centuries-old journal buried in the ruins of an ancient Samaritan village.
Inside its fragile pages is the story of a traveler who once walked the same road, wrestling with faith in a world that seemed beyond redemption. As the students read, their own stories begin to mirror his, and what started as an archaeological discovery becomes a spiritual awakening that none of them expected.
A Faith-Based Story Rooted in Real Emotion
The Samaritan’s Road isn’t just another religious novel—it’s a meditation on the tension between intellect and belief, between history and heart. It explores what happens when modern skepticism collides with ancient truth.
The story draws on my years of writing about faith, creativity, and perseverance. Over time, I’ve seen how both storytelling and spirituality rely on the same practice: showing up, staying open, and allowing transformation to happen through process. This novel is the culmination of those insights—a narrative that bridges the ancient world of Scripture with the inner struggles of today’s believer.
Walking the Road Together
At its core, The Samaritan’s Road asks a simple but profound question:
What if faith isn’t about certainty, but about courage—the courage to keep walking when you don’t yet see the destination?
Readers will find adventure, mystery, and meaning woven together in a journey that’s part travelogue, part parable. It’s a story for seekers, skeptics, and anyone who’s ever wondered if grace could still find them where they are.
As the students follow the clues hidden in the journal, they discover that faith isn’t found in grand revelations, but in small acts of compassion—the same road once traveled by a Samaritan who stopped for a stranger.
A Reflection for Readers
The Samaritan’s Road blends modern Christian storytelling with the timeless lessons of the Good Samaritan parable. It’s both a spiritual adventure and a mirror, inviting readers to examine where their own hearts resist mercy, and where grace might still break through.
This is a story about rediscovery—of faith, purpose, and the sacred beauty hidden in ordinary lives.
