Her vivid, lyrical prose immerses readers in the ancient Mediterranean while examining themes that still resonate\u2014identity, faith, and the cost of being unheard. Junia and Susannah\u2019s intertwined journeys reveal both the hope and heartbreak at the roots of inclusion. As in her earlier novels of the From Broken to Bold trilogy, Kelly restores voice and agency to those relegated to the margins of scripture. The result is a stirring blend of theology and drama; feminist, LGBTQ+-affirming, and profoundly spiritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Finding-Her-Voice-Broken-Apostles-ebook\/dp\/B0FL9156XB\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date October 28, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">ASIN B0FL9156XB<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Price $2.99 (USD) Kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An immersive and deeply affecting novel that bridges antiquity and the modern age.&nbsp; Set between AD 39 and 48, this final volume in Kelly\u2019s From Broken to Bold trilogy continues her exploration of faith, gender, and power within the early Christian church.
