No Stone Cast: Eliyanah's Story is the 11th book in the Ordinary Women of the Bible fiction series. Eliyanah is content with her simple life, serving the poor and outcast in the tiny village of Bethany. She dreams of marrying the love of her life, Eleazar. But her dreams are shattered when her stepfather betroths her to a wealthy spice merchant from Jerusalem. Away from her childhood home, Eliyanah finds herself lonely and aimless-her life's sole purpose now is to bear a son and an heir for her neglectful and abusive husband. In her despair, Eliyanah turns to the arms of another man, even though she knows the penalty for such a sin should she be caught. When the inevitable happens, and she is dragged-shamed and humiliated-before the enraged Pharisees, a Savior steps in. In place of judgment, He offers mercy. In lieu of guilt's wages, He offers grace. How can she ever repay such love?

Finally, an unexpected crisis requires him to reexamine everything, and places their hope for Paul's freedom on the shoulders of Praetorian Prefect Sextus Burrus.
