Hidden Faces: Portraits of Nameless Women in the Gospels

by Golden Keyes Parsons

This collection of four novellas takes the reader back to the days of Jesus, and into the lives of four unnamed women whose stories are some of the most compelling in the Gospels. Included in this compilation are:
TRAPPED: THE ADULTEROUS WOMAN When Anna follows the pull of her foolish heart toward a man not her betrothed-husband, she finds herself to be trapped in a web of betrayal...from which only one Man can save her.
ALONE: THE WOMAN AT THE WELL All Marah ever thirsted for was a husband to love her, a home of her own. But when life leaves her alone and forsaken, a stranger at the well offers her the acceptance she thought she would never find again.
BROKEN: THE WOMAN WHO ANOINTED JESUS'S FEET Tirzah never wanted to follow her mother into the life of a harlot, but the cruel world gives her no other choice. When she hears of Jesus, she knows he can heal her crippled friend...but can he heal Tirzah's broken spirit?
HOPELESS: THE WOMAN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD Zahava has a husband who loves her...but after twelve years of bleeding that has left her unclean and cut off from him, can a forbidden touch give her the hope so long denied her?
