"Now these [Berean] Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so" (Acts 17:11 ESV).

Scarlett’s Odyssey

Between Fate & Faith — by Howard D. Chaney

Scarlett’s Odyssey is a historically grounded novel that follows a young woman whose quiet obedience to God leads her far beyond the life she expected.

Set amid the mountain villages near Jingdezhen—the heart of China’s porcelain trade—and the distant cities of Europe, the story explores identity, calling, and the unseen hand of providence guiding each step.

A story of faith lived in real places—where decisions matter, and God’s purposes unfold one step at a time.
