Forgotten Faces I - Remembered
What would you see if you walked the dusty streets of Judea and saw Jesus in a crowd? How would you feel if you stood before Him and could ask anything?
Remembered follows ten ordinary people whose lives collide with the Messiah who changed the world. From a hungry boy offering his humble meal, to a woman blinded by her desire for love, to a thief dying on a cross seeking to be remembered, each story unveils an eye-opening perspective on Christ’s mission. Their choices and ambitions are interwoven into a single tapestry that reveals the crushing weight of the world and the One Person who can bear it - Christ. This novel transports readers to first-century Judea, inviting all to put on the forgotten faces of Scripture and relive the events as if for the first time.
The World Behind The Story
The 'Forgotten Faces' series is born from an exhaustive synthesis of the archaeological record and traditional narrative. Every scene is anchored in the material culture of the Ancient Near East.
From the social hierarchies of Judean villages to the forgotten dialects of the Galilee. We go beyond the familiar stories to reveal the psychological depths of characters often relegated to the margins, breathing life into the silent dust of history through meticulous research.
For The Readers
Forgotten Faces is written for readers who love morally complex historical fiction. Stories where characters wrestle with power, identity, and belief.
While rooted in Scripture, the series focuses on human interior conflict rather than retelling familiar narratives.
The novel invites both faith-based and historical fiction readers into the tension of the ancient world

A Note on Forgotten Faces
"I wrote this series to invite readers into the visceral tension of first-century Judea. My hope is that by seeing Christ through the eyes of the overlooked and the forgotten, we might encounter the same shock and awe that transformed a countless ordinary lives two thousand years ago. History remembers the centre. I wanted to imagine the people standing just beyond it.
