About the Book
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.

About the Author

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.

My Review
I enjoyed reading the start to Carole Towriss' Planting Faith series and was excited to have the opportunity to read the second installment, More than Conquerors. I was far from being disappointed. I was quickly intrigued with Kassandra's story and wanted to keep reading. It was hard to put down but easy to quickly read it in a couple of evenings. I loved every single page.
I am going to give More than Conquerors a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers and fans who love to read clean Historical Fiction, particularly Biblical Fiction. I am hoping there will be more to come from the Planting Faith series by Carole Towriss.
I received a copy of Carole Towriss' More than Conquerors from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
I liked the review, thank you.
