About the Book More than Conquerors

Book: More than Conquerors (Planting Faith Series Book 2)

Author: Carole Towriss

Genre: Biblical Fiction

Release Date: March 25, 2024

Kassandra‘s privileged and pampered life explodes when she meets a woman with next to nothing. When a glimpse into the lives of those less fortunate turns into a mission to help them, her father offers a choice: act like the daughter of a politarch and marry the man he has chosen–or leave home forever.

Unimaginable loss shakes Jason‘s world to its foundation, and he struggles to keep his faith in the Jewish God. He faces losing everything generations of his family have built, and one of the city’s elite seems determined to make that happen.

A visiting Jewish preacher shakes up the synagogue—and then the town—with outrageous claims. Paulos’s teachings fascinate Kassi but contradict everything Jason believes. As pressure amps up on every side, they must decide how much they are willing to risk to follow The Way.

My Thoughts on More than Conquerors

This book was so unique and also really challenged me, but in a good way.  Think back to the beginnings of Christianity as we know it.  When following Jesus was new and foreign, and people were being killed over it.  Would you have become a believer?  What would you have sacrificed or given up for it?  Your wealth, your dreams, your life, your family?  It’s just a lot to think about, isn’t it? 

This book talks of the teachings of Paul.  Paul didn’t just set out to convert Gentiles, but rather, he set out to help the Jews see that Jesus was the Messiah.  You can imagine how that went over.  

There is danger in here!  And romance and love!  You’re going to love this one!  It reads quickly, and the characters are great.  They really reach out to you, and you want to understand how they are feeling and what would have made them see or feel that way.  It’s a great piece of fiction that I hope you take the time to read.

More from Carole

More than Conquerors is the second book in the “Planting Faith” series. Each book is set in a city where Paul established a church. Book 1, Sold into Freedom, took place in Philippi and featured the woman with the spirit of prophecy and the jailer. I’m currently writing a novel set in Athens, and I hope to follow that with one set in Corinth.

I like to write about people who are mentioned only a few times in Scripture. Jason is mentioned only once, in Acts 16, and Kassandra is one of the ”prominent women” who came to faith under Paul. Paul, Silas, Timothy, Luke, and Lydia are all here, but they are minor characters.

I hope you enjoy getting to know Jason and Kassandra, and experience what it was like to be part of one of the earliest churches.
