Onesimus is a gripping historical novel that brings to life the transformative journey of Onesimus, a runaway slave in the Roman Empire. Seamlessly blending historical accuracy with rich storytelling, McDowell explores themes of freedom, faith, and redemption.
Follow Onesimus as he navigates the complexities of early Christian communities, encounters the apostle Paul, and grapples with his own identity and purpose. This compelling narrative not only illuminates a lesser-known biblical figure but also offers timeless reflections on justice, human dignity, and spiritual transformation.
Available from select retailers in paperback and eBook. Audiobook coming in 2024.
