Fantasy/History/Medieval Times

This is an incredible story. Not only does R.C. Mogo reimagine a timeless Biblical event but she does it in a way that does not replace the original. The truth of the past is beautifully tied together with the Living Hope of today that we find in Christ. This tale is also so very relatable with our own internal struggle we face each day… rely on ourselves? or rely on God’s strength? We all wrestle with the flesh daily, this story brings that fight to life.
