What does real faith look like in day-to-day life?
What does it feel like when life is messy and chaotic and you don’t have clear answers?
Retold: Heart Journeys wades deep into the waters of these questions by looking at the lives of some of the women in the Bible.
If Eve was alive today, what would her temptation be, and how would she handle it?
What would be the test of will for Shiphrah and Puah, the Hebrew midwives if they were bankers instead and their ‘Pharoah’ was a senior manager with a grudge?
The book challenges us to get in between the lines of scripture and feel what these women felt, live in their experiences for a time and come out realizing that the Bible is full of imperfect people, navigating difficult lives while leaning on a perfect God who doesn’t always do things the way we want Him to.
The people in the Biblical narrative aren’t ‘saints’ in the way we sometime idealise them to be. They were humans living regular lives.
Retold: Heart Journeys pulls their stories into the 21st century and shows us what it would look like if they lived today. It turns out that their lives would look a lot like ours do right now.
Take a walk through modern-day parallels of the stories of:
Eve
The Hebrew midwives
Hagar
Tamar
Rahab
Gomer
Naomi
Retold: Heart Journeys is for readers who enjoy reading the Bible and want to see more of the women who lived alongside famous patriarchs. It’s also for those who sometimes feel like the Bible is boring or irrelevant to people today.
If you’re looking for

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Faith is rarely loud.Obedience is rarely easy.And calling almost always costs something.Retold: Heart Journeys is a collection of modern re-imaginings inspired by eight women from Scripture-women whose faith was not proven by miracles or certainty, but by what they chose when clarity was absent and obedience threatened everything they had.These are not sermons.They are stories.Stories of women who say yes without knowing how things will turn out.Who move forward when support disappears.Who obey even when faith risks reputation, safety, love, or belonging.From a woman carrying responsibility for a fractured beginning, to one who lies to save lives, to another marked by shame who refuses to let shame define her ending, to a widow who learns that survival itself can be an act of faith-Heart Journeys explores what it means to follow God when faith is quiet, costly, and deeply human.Written with emotional realism and theological restraint, these retellings honor the shape of the biblical narratives without recreating them scene for scene-inviting modern readers to sit with the fear, courage, doubt, and endurance behind stories they thought they already knew.This collection includes retellings inspired by: EveThe Hebrew midwivesHagarTamarRahabGomerNaomiRetold: Heart Journeys is ideal for readers who appreciate biblical fiction that is thoughtful rather than preachy, honest rather than idealized, and unafraid of complexity.Why readers connect with Retold: Heart JourneysCharacter-driven retellings rooted in ScriptureFaith portrayed through struggle, silence, and consequenceWomen's stories told with dignity, nuance, and emotional depthWell-suited for book clubs, personal reflection, and spiritually curious readersFaith doesn't always look triumphant.Sometimes it looks like endurance.Sometimes it looks like obedience in the dark.And sometimes, that's where it's most real.
