The Woman Who Anointed the King

By Dr Michael Andam

She was not invited.
She was not approved.
And she was not forgotten.

In a city that remembered her sins more than her name, one woman carried a secret she guarded fiercely-a sealed alabaster jar filled with priceless oil. It was her security, her survival, the last thing untouched by shame. When she encountered Jesus of Nazareth-the One who saw her fully and forgave her freely-she faced a choice that would define her forever.

To stay hidden...
Or to worship without restraint.

The Woman Who Anointed the King is a moving dual-timeline novel that reimagines the untold backstory of the woman who poured costly oil at Jesus' feet. Through lyrical, emotionally rich storytelling in the spirit of Francine Rivers, this novel explores shame and restoration, fear and surrender, and the breathtaking power of love poured out without calculation.

Interwoven with this ancient story is a modern journey of a woman who has learned how to succeed, belong, and believe-without ever risking her heart. As she is drawn into the gospel account, she must confront her own unopened jar and decide what true worship will cost her.

Defended by Jesus, criticised by men, and remembered by heaven, the woman's act of devotion reaches far beyond the room in which it was offered-into death, resurrection, and eternity.

This is a story for anyone who has ever held back.
For anyone who has loved cautiously.
For anyone who is learning that worship is not about safety-but surrender.

Because what is poured out in love is never wasted.
