History remembers the miracles. But the real story was happening in the crowd.
A woman who spent twelve years disappearing from the world reaches through a sea of strangers for the hem of a garment. A blind beggar refuses to be silent when everyone around him demands quiet. A grieving widow follows her only son to an unfinished funeral. A soldier arrives in a garden carrying orders-and leaves carrying a memory he cannot explain.
In The Hand of the Healer, Lorcan Pike (author of The God of the Outcasts) strips away the stained-glass distance to reveal the raw, dusty reality of the New Testament's most unforgettable encounters.
These aren't stories about famous disciples or powerful rulers. They are stories about the people history almost forgot-the beggars, widows, outcasts, and soldiers who found themselves face-to-face with the Healer's hand.
This collection includes seventeen gritty, immersive retellings, including:
- The Last Shout: Bartimaeus's defiant cry for visibility.
- The Ear in the Dark: Malchus's encounter with mercy in the middle of an arrest.
- Crumbs from the Table: A mother's fierce faith that refuses to take no for an answer.
- The Sky-Openers: Four friends who take a roof apart to save a life.
- Paradise before Sunset: A thief's final conversation on a windswept hill.
Moving from the crowded streets of Jericho to the high-stakes tension of the Crucifixion, The Hand of the Healer invites you to see the Gospel through the eyes of those Jesus saw when no one else would.
Perfect for fans of historical fiction and readers aged 12-17 who want stories that aren't afraid of the grit.
