Worth The Cost

In the mid-second century BC, Abner Ben Baruch faces a decision which will change his life forever. A zealous son of Israel, Abner prays fervently to see his people freed from the oppressive hand of the Greeks.  Though his heart soars with passion from the words of the priests, another part of him is held by the love of a merchant’s daughter. He longs to serve Yahweh, but what does that actually look like? Does it mean living as peacefully as possible to not stir up trouble, or is it standing firm against their pagan rulers? Or then again, maybe there’s a way to do both. Whichever decision he makes, more will be required of him than he could ever imagine.
