Favored

As Joachim announces he has betrothed Mary, his only daughter, to Joseph, she and her mother can only sit and listen in stunned silence. Meanwhile, Joseph is summoned by Theo, a Roman centurion, to fix Dalena's dressing table. The beautiful woman is the wife of Quirinius, the governor of Syria. The encounter sets in motion a tangled web of deceit that causes their paths to cross in many intricate ways.

When Anna discovers the secret Mary has been hiding, will the revelation tear the family apart? Will faith win over doubt? Will those in Mary's life believe the impossible?

This exciting story, with its twists and turns, seeks to answer the question: What makes a person favored?

Book Two in the Believing the Impossible Series

Fragile

Fragile takes you a step further into the lives of the characters you have come to love in Favored.

The love will grow between Mary and Joseph when the wise men warn them of Herod and their rigorous travel to Egypt. Can the two learn how to parent the Messiah as he grows into adulthood?

Will Dalena's future unravel with the discovery of Quirinius' plans for her? Will her affection for Lucas grow, or will it be undermined and her trust shattered as she learns more about him? Can Dianthea continue to walk the tightrope between the two?

Does Theo learn that love is sacrificial? Katera is Theo's slave, but desires to become more to him. Will she feel secure in his love while he still owns her and can demand anything from her?

Fragile speaks to those who have been broken by circumstances, some of our own making and others forced upon us. Hurt and betrayal can leave cracks and gaping wounds that, when left open to fester, can produce bitterness, which leaves us feeling rejected and alone. Read how God gently speaks to His beloved, guiding and healing the broken places in each of them. Each must come to a place of believing the impossible.

“Teri’s commitment to accuracy is evident as she takes her readers back to a time of unimaginable harshness and, at times, life’s. cruelties that Mary, Joseph, and the others experienced over 2,000 years ago. ...These characters also remind us that what God plans for our future, we cannot accomplish on our own. We must learn to follow the voice and leading of God. This enables us to enjoy His favor on our own journey through this fragile life.”

“Forgiven allows us to take a break from the Sunday morning Bible class and look into the lives of people, although fictional, who witnessed the impact of Emmanuel, God with us, here on Earth. The narratives in Forgiven take us from the position of pain to the redemptive transformation that happens in one’s life through Christ [...] This allows us to take the paintbrush of the gospel story and cover the canvas of our heart with a real-life application through triumph.”

Bloom

Preparing for Your Promise Land

Bloom: Preparing for Your Promised Land takes us on a journey of learning from the lives of six Old Testament women through scripture. These women of the Bible were just like us. They experienced joy, heartbreak, life, death, grief, abundance, need, and miraculous salvation. Each lesson focuses on what God did in each woman’s life, her response to her specific calling, and her choice to “bloom” despite her circumstances.
