Three biblical-historical novellas of prophecy, memory, and faith
Prophets in Their Times brings together three historically grounded novellas: Fifteen Mornings with the Prophet, Nineveh, Remembered, and My Spirit Poured Out.
The novellas are works of fiction shaped by the biblical record and informed by the history, geography, culture, and political realities of the ancient world. Where Scripture is silent, imagination is used carefully—not to replace the biblical account, but to help readers enter its human world.
Each story approaches the world of the prophets through the lives of those who witnessed them—the people who listened, resisted, remembered, and carried their words forward. Together, the three novellas explore what it means to encounter a message from God within the uncertainty, conflict, and ordinary responsibilities of human life.
These are not retellings centered only on famous prophetic figures. They are stories about the people living near them: witnesses, families, servants, skeptics, and ordinary believers whose lives were changed by words they could neither dismiss nor fully understand.
Across different generations and settings, the collection asks the same enduring question: What happens when the word of God enters an ordinary human life?
Fifteen Mornings with the Prophet
In Babylon, a young scribe is assigned to record the memories of the aged prophet Daniel. Over fifteen mornings, stories of exile, kings, visions, and the lions’ den awaken him to a faith—and a calling—he never expected.
Nineveh, Remembered
Years after Jonah’s warning brought Nineveh to repentance, a scribe named Ammiel struggles to preserve the memory of mercy as the city returns to violence. When Nahum announces Nineveh’s final judgment, Ammiel must decide what can still be saved from a city determined to forget.
My Spirit Poured Out
As locusts, drought, and famine devastate Judah, the prophet Joel calls the nation to repentance. Told through the eyes of his wife, the story reveals the private grief behind his public burden—and the promise that one day God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh.
