A compelling story inspired by what we read of Onesimus in Paul's New Testament letters.
Set in the vibrant first-century Roman Empire, this richly detailed narrative follows the life of Onesimus, a young slave who dreams of gaining freedom and winning the love of Eirene, a rich merchant's daughter.
His master, Philemon, followed Jesus Christ and his apostle Paul. A turning point in Onesimus's life comes when, through Paul's teachings, Onesimus learns about love, forgiveness, and a different kind of freedom that changes his life forever.

The fictional telling of Philemon’s slave Onesimus. The author’s study of the Bible and her imagination of filling in the gaps in the story were refreshing.
