Swords in the Desert

“And a sword will pierce your own soul, too.”

Told from the perspective of five individuals, a priest, former tax collector, two fugitives, and daughter of a Jewish rebel, Swords in the Desert follows Jesus through the Gospel of Luke’s harrowing final twelve chapters.

As the shadow of the cross looms ever closer, these intertwined stories unfold with stunning vividness, revealing the human cost of divine sacrifice. Experience the cultural tensions, political intrigue, and spiritual warfare that defined first-century Judea in ways you’ve never imagined.
