No Longer Slaves

About this book

He was sold into slavery as a child. He will risk everything to become free. In the shadow of the Roman Empire, where chains define a man's worth and mercy is a luxury few can afford, Onesimus flees the only life he has ever known. Pursued by bounty hunters, hardened by betrayal, and haunted by bitterness, he sets his course for Rome to answer a burning question in his mind. In the heart of Rome, Onesimus seeks an imprisoned apostle who holds a message powerful enough to shatter chains no iron can bind and bring an empire to its knees.As Onesimus journeys across seas and battlefields, through storms, palaces, and prisons, he encounters men and women who speak of a crucified King--a King who offers freedom not from the chains of Rome but from deeper bonds that hold a man captive more tightly than iron ever could. No Longer Slaves is a sweeping historical novel of survival, identity, and redemption set in the brutal world of the first-century Roman Empire, where one runaway slave discovers that true freedom begins not with escape, but with surrender.Based on the biblical story behind Paul's letter to Philemon, No Longer Slaves brings to life one of Scripture's most remarkable stories of redemption, freedom, and reconciliation.
