The Fig Tree of Jericho
Two thousand years apart, two women walk the same road of waiting, love, and faith.
In a small village near the shores of Galilee lives Tirzah, the daughter of a shepherd and the wife of a young fisherman named Amos. Their life begins with simple hopes-marriage, family, and the quiet rhythms of village life. But when Amos is drawn into the growing movement of a mysterious teacher from Nazareth, Tirzah must learn what it means to love someone who is called toward something greater than their own life together.
As rumors spread of healings, parables, and conflict with powerful authorities, Tirzah's faith begins to awaken. Beneath a fig tree on the dusty road to Jericho, her life slowly unfolds through seasons of longing, sacrifice, and hope-until the events in Jerusalem change the world forever.
Two thousand years later, Miriam, a modern woman facing illness and the memories of a life shaped by love and loss, begins experiencing vivid dreams of Tirzah's world. What begins as imagination slowly reveals a deeper connection, as Miriam discovers that the ancient story unfolding in her dreams mirrors the quiet questions of her own life.
Across centuries, the lives of two women intertwine around a single symbol-the fig tree, a reminder that even in seasons that appear barren, faith and love are still growing beneath the surface.
The Fig Tree of Jericho is a moving historical novel about devotion, sacrifice, longing, and the quiet mystery of lives lived in the shadow of the greatest story ever told.
A story of waiting.
A story of faith.
A story that reminds us that no life lived in hope is ever truly barren.
