Finding the King: The Story of Joanna

By Marion Dawson Gunderson and Susan Shorter

Born to a wealthy family of high position, Joanna finds herself in an unexpected place ruled by a ruthless monarch and his scheming wife. When her life is threatened, Joanna seeks protection from a new kind of king. Will she ever see her family again? After the changes in her life, will they want to see her?
From the noisy streets of Jerusalem to the windswept slopes of Galilee, Finding the King brings first-century life into vibrant focus through the story of Joanna, a young woman who lives through the most important event in human history.
Finding the King is the third title in the Brave Beauty series, portraits of real women who show courage and grace in living out Gods will for their lives. To learn more, go to www.BraveBeautyBooks.com.
