Amias, a traveling prophet, visited an old friend’s home in Jericho and learned of a secret council of religious leaders determined to uncover the fate of God’s ultimate mouthpiece, Elijah. The message was that he was taken away in a fiery chariot. But Amias and his friend, with their unique perspective, may learn for themselves what truly happened, even if it means venturing into unfriendly cities and towns.
“Amias: A Widow’s Oil Novella” is a historical drama set during the reign of King Ahab and Jezebel, inspired by Biblical passages. Years after a duel between Elijah and the priests of Baal left hundreds to perish by the river, the man responsible had been taken away. Although years have passed, the mental bruise from that event stoked the desire for revenge on him or his associates. Amias and his friends traveled to a small town and came face to face with family members of a Baal priest who died in the incident. He must navigate the dangerous climate of the enemy, secure helpful allies, and do all he can to tell the others what truth was discovered. “Amias” is an engaging character story about faith, strength, and courage to journey into danger for truth and do what you believe is right. Even if it means danger comes in silken robes, a mischievous smile, and the threat of grievous harm.
