Line of Promise: The Story of Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Joseph is a sweeping biblical historical fiction epic that traces the sacred lineage of promise from the dawn of humanity to the rise of Israel in Egypt.
Beginning in Eden with Adam's first breath and humanity's first fall, this novel journeys through the floodwaters with Noah, across deserts with Abraham, and into exile and redemption through the life of Joseph. Each generation carries both the weight of failure and the fragile hope of divine promise - a promise preserved not through perfection, but through faith, obedience, and grace.
Drawing deeply from Genesis and inspired by both Christian and Jewish scriptures, Line of Promise brings ancient stories vividly to life through lyrical prose, emotional depth, and rich historical imagination. Familiar figures are rendered as living, breathing human beings: Adam wrestling with exile, Noah clinging to obedience amid judgment, Abraham walking by faith into the unknown, and Joseph rising from betrayal and bondage to become a vessel of salvation.
This is not a theological treatise, but a reverent and immersive retelling - a family saga spanning generations, lands, and covenants. It explores timeless themes of faith and doubt, brotherhood and betrayal, judgment and mercy, and the unbroken thread of promise that binds humanity's story together.
Perfect for readers of biblical fiction, Christian historical novels, and spiritually rich epics in the tradition of The Red Tent, The Book of Longings, and classic Genesis retellings, Line of Promise invites readers to walk again through sacred history - and to discover how hope survived from Eden to Egypt.
