Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: More than Conquerors by Carole Towriss

Book: More than Conquerors (Planting Faith Series Book 2)

Author: Carole Towriss

Genre: Biblical Fiction

Release Date: March 25, 2024

Kassandra‘s privileged and pampered life explodes when she meets a woman with next to nothing. When a glimpse into the lives of those less fortunate turns into a mission to help them, her father offers a choice: act like the daughter of a politarch and marry the man he has chosen––or leave home forever.

Unimaginable loss shakes Jason‘s world to its foundation, and he struggles to keep his faith in the Jewish God. He faces losing everything generations of his family have built, and one of the city’s elite seems determined to make that happen.

A visiting Jewish preacher shakes up the synagogue—and then the town—with outrageous claims. Paulos’s teachings fascinate Kassi but contradict everything Jason believes. As pressure amps up on every side, they must decide how much they are willing to risk to follow The Way.

Biblical Fiction is a genre that I have recently started to get interested in. More than Conquerors by Carole Towriss is Book 2 in the Planting Faith Series. Carole Towriss is a new to author and I have not read the first book in this series.

WOW, such a beautiful story of growth in faith and people. Kassandra comes from a "Privilaged" family and lifestyle. She really has a mission to serve the less fortunate and her Father has other plans for her. His desire is for an arranged marriage. Kassandra has to choose following her Father's commands or Follow God's Calling. I really LOVE that the book stays with the Biblical story and adds in the Fiction characters and storyline. I am going to go back and read Book 1 in this series and I look forward to future books! I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who liked Biblical Fiction books. AMAZING BOOK!

Carole Towriss is a Californian living on the East Coast. When she isn’t writing, researching, or editing her latest book, you can find her (and her cat) watching British television, googling obscure facts, or talking to one of her four kids.

More from Carole

More than Conquerors is the second book in the “Planting Faith” series. Each book is set in a city where Paul established a church. Book 1, Sold into Freedom, took place in Philippi and featured the woman with the spirit of prophecy and the jailer. I’m currently writing a novel set in Athens, and I hope to follow that with one set in Corinth.

I like to write about people who are mentioned only a few times in Scripture. Jason is mentioned only once, in Acts 16, and Kassandra is one of the ”prominent women” who came to faith under Paul. Paul, Silas, Timothy, Luke, and Lydia are all here, but they are minor characters.

I hope you enjoy getting to know Jason and Kassandra, and experience what it was like to be part of one of the earliest churches.
