Faith is rarely loud.

Obedience is rarely easy.

And calling almost always costs something.

Retold: Heart Journeys is a collection of modern re-imaginings inspired by eight women from Scripture-women whose faith was not proven by miracles or certainty, but by what they chose when clarity was absent and obedience threatened everything they had.

These are not sermons.

They are stories.

Stories of women who say yes without knowing how things will turn out.

Who move forward when support disappears.

Who obey even when faith risks reputation, safety, love, or belonging.

From a woman carrying responsibility for a fractured beginning,

to one who lies to save lives,

to another marked by shame who refuses to let shame define her ending,

to a widow who learns that survival itself can be an act of faith-

Heart Journeys explores what it means to follow God when faith is quiet, costly, and deeply human.

Written with emotional realism and theological restraint, these retellings honor the shape of the biblical narratives without recreating them scene for scene-inviting modern readers to sit with the fear, courage, doubt, and endurance behind stories they thought they already knew.

This collection includes retellings inspired by:

  • Eve
  • The Hebrew midwives
  • Hagar
  • Tamar
  • Rahab
  • Gomer
  • Naomi

Retold: Heart Journeys is ideal for readers who appreciate biblical fiction that is thoughtful rather than preachy, honest rather than idealized, and unafraid of complexity.

Why readers connect with Retold: Heart Journeys

  • Character-driven retellings rooted in Scripture
  • Faith portrayed through struggle, silence, and consequence
  • Women's stories told with dignity, nuance, and emotional depth
  • Well-suited for book clubs, personal reflection, and spiritually curious readers

Faith doesn't always look triumphant.

Sometimes it looks like endurance.

Sometimes it looks like obedience in the dark.

And sometimes, that's where it's most real.
