Fresh Look at the Familiar: Surprise

By shauna 4 Comments

{This work of fiction is based on the framework of John 21:6-7.} {From last week, Part 1: Waiting} Peter coiled the ropes into a sloppy pile on the deck.

HI THERE!

I’m Shauna, and I help worn-out Christians find permanent rest and relief by retelling gospel stories that highlight Jesus’ kindness toward ordinary people like us.

In my books and on this blog, I weave history, theology, and fictional detail into a fresh retelling of familiar Bible stories. I started writing them because I needed them. When I shared my stories, people said they made the Bible come to life.

If you could use some permanent rest and relief, download my free Bible story devotional.
