Book Cover & Preview Text
WHITHER THOU GOEST, Book 2 of the Arimathea Series, is exciting Biblical and historically accurate fiction which continues the birth and creation of Christianity and its spread beyond Judea. Travelers in England and those studying historical geography will recognize Glastonbury Tor (cover art) rising above Avalon’s forests as it has for thousands of years. The Tor is key to events in the novel.
The Jews of Israel begin their persecutions of Christ-followers in Judea. The vastly wealthy Pharisee, Joseph of Arimathea, turns from his homeland and his commercial empire to answer Christ’s call to evangelism and to take the Holy Grail, the Messiah’s cup, to the northern isle of Britannia. He abandons a life of privilege and wealth to establish the first Christ-follower church in Britannia, spreading the good news of the resurrected Jesus and salvation. Followed by the once-crippled Reuben who was healed by the blood of Jesus on the road to Calvary, they encounter suspicion and resistance from the Briton Tribes. Discovering new allies in an Arch Druid and a Celtic prophetess, they must fight for their very lives against hostile tribesmen who oppose them.
But there are greater dangers. Could a Forest Demon with shining swords who haunts the Ancient Wood surrounding Avalon become their worst enemy…?
