A sweeping epic set in the harsh deserts of Arabia and ancient Palestine.
A war that rages between kingdoms on the earth and in the heart.
The harrowing journey of the woman at the center of it all.
Step back in time to the year of our Lord...A.D. 30.
The outcast daughter of one of the most powerful Bedouin sheikhs in Arabia, Maviah is called on to protect the very people who rejected her. When their enemies launch a sudden attack with devastating consequences, Maviah escapes with the help of two of her father's warriors--Saba who speaks more with is sword than his voice and Judah, a Jew who comes from a tribe that can read the stars. Their journey will be fraught with terrible danger. If they can survive the vast forbidding sands of a desert that is deadly to most, they will reach a brutal world subjugated by kings and emperors. There Maviah must secure an unlikely alliance with King Herod of the Jews.

But Maviah's path leads her unexpectedly to another man. An enigmatic teacher who speaks of a way in this life which offers greater power than any kingdom. His name is Yeshua, and his words turn everything known on its head. Though following him may present even greater danger, his may be the only way for Maviah to save her people--and herself.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Katie on November 20, 2014

This is my first Ted Dekker experience. Whoa. I really don't know what to say about this book. It's emotions. It's action. It's history. It draws you closer to God. It gives you permission to be vulnerable and human, and still know that you're okay. Anything else? No, that's pretty much it. I'm a better......more

Goodreads review by J.S. on September 10, 2014

It's taken me some time to mull over this novel and figure out what to say about it, and I'm still not quite sure, so here goes nothing. First, this is unlike any Ted Dekker book I have read previously. His other novels are fantasy and suspense, and A.D. 30 is a historical novel. It's also one of his......more

Goodreads review by Travis on September 23, 2015

This book was kind of like Cheetos: a dangerously cheesy grab-bag of tropes. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the effort by a mainstream author to write about his faith, and I think Christian themes can be worked into fiction in a way that makes it easier to get past your instinctive reactions to "r......more

Goodreads review by Jerry on October 28, 2023

A Quickie Review Ted Dekker is among the most successful authors in all of Christian fiction; his books have even been major mainstream smash hits. I've read much of his work, but, this is unlike anything of his I've read before. Though the story is good and the writing is great, it isn't as epic as......more

Quotes

"Dekker, the profilic best-selling author of more than 20 books including the "Book of Mortals" series and "The Circle" trilogy, draws on his exotic Indonesian childhood for his new thrilling adventure saga. . .Combining a rich visual portrait of a Stone Age civilization and a surprising spiritual redemption, this excellent book will engage suspense and historical fiction readers."—Library Journal on Outlaw, starred review

Told with gritty realism to match The Hunger Games, Ted Dekker's Outlaw is an epic story of triumph over trial and the far-reaching power of great personal sacrifice.—Novel Crossing on Outlaw

"Dekker's crossed a new threshold with OUTLAW. It's like nothing he's ever written, while at the same time, touching on the themes that made his previous works enjoyable. You can tell through the story that he's excited about the plot and the story and the message, and hopes that along the journey of reading, readers will go through just a bit of the journey he took when writing it. It's an astounding novel. But the most exciting part of this story is where it's going."—Life Is Story on Outlaw

"Intricate and well thought out are Dekker's tales. Sovereign is heavily laced with religious parallels, but they only added extra life and depth to this book. I could mention there is plenty of action and interesting characters, but that would be an understatement. There is so much more here, material and ideas and concepts that made me think as well as enjoy the book...so be sure you take the time to delve into Sovereign. It's a different sword and fantasy novel, unlike anything out there. Which is good, because I didn't want to read another rehash of swords and magic. Dekker and Lee definitely set the bar a bit higher with Sovereign."—Suspense Magazine on Sovereign

"THE SANCTUARY may make you wonder if prisons manufacture more criminals than they rehabilitate. The vivid descriptions and drama are gripping, and the alternating POVs add depth to the characters and story. Dekker reminds us that we are all prisoners, though it may be our minds, vs. prison bars, holding us captive."—RT Book Reviews on The Sanctuary, 4 1/2 Stars TOP PICK on The Sanctuary
