This is the entertaining and intriguing account of Sarah, a woman who has been alive for more than a millennium. She fell ill in her nineteenth year of life, died, and was resurrected by Jesus Christ. Pursued by the authorities who view her return to life as an abomination, she has been traveling through history with two others resurrected by Jesus, Lazarus of Bethany, and Elan, the son of the widow from Nain.
After learning that their resurrections conveyed immortality, the three set out to discover why. While Lazarus is intent on preserving the beginnings of Christianity and Elan is happily exploring new geographies, Sarah searches for her life's purpose. Having fought alongside Lazarus and Elan in the Crusades, she now finds her place as a teacher, mentor, and gifted healer. But her new life is soon tested in a way she wasn't prepared to face.
James Davison is the author of Bottom Feeder, a riveting, fast-paced murder mystery set in Louisiana (2022); the historical fiction I Am Lazarus (2021); and the nuclear thriller Trinity 3.11 (2019). Davison draws inspiration from his experiences as a journalist, a law enforcement officer, and a public information officer in the federal government to give his books visceral realism. A native of Louisiana, he and his wife live in Virginia.
“Once again, James Davison weaves an entertaining tale while taking aim at false prophets, misguided institutions, and human hypocrisy. The author revisits familiar moments in history, reimagined through the eyes of his immortal protagonists. I Am Sarah begs intriguing questions we all must consider.”
—E. A. Coe, award-winning author of Pedaling West
“This book is a brilliant and meticulously researched reimagining of the previously unnamed biblical character Sarah, Jairus’s daughter, who was one of only three raised from the dead by Jesus. It is original in its premise, bold in its plot, and provocative in its theological and historical implications. Move over, Dan Brown. The Da Vinci Code has a worthy rival for excitement, drama, and mystery.”
—Elizabeth H. Cottrell, author of Heartspoken
“A masterfully told story of intrigue, love, and suspense, I Am Sarah opens a window into the
power of Christ’s love for humanity and for healing wounded souls. I eagerly await the next book in the ‘Lazarus’ series.”
—Sherrie Hofmann, pastor, Prince of Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church
