A Certain Man by Linda Dindzans

There was a certain man …
He offered an outcast-a shunned, shamed woman —a new life.
Mara is a young Samaritan beginning to discover her love for Samuel—and his for her. Soon she will be deemed mature enough to marry. Her hopes are dashed when her greedy father brokers a match with the cruel son of the wealthy High Priest of Shechem. When her loathsome betrothed is killed, her beloved Samuel must run for his life.
Mara and Samuel struggle to survive and reunite during the treacherous and scandalous times of the Bible under the merciless rule of Rome.
Along the way, they are entangled within the snares of such notable figures as King Herod, Herodias, Pontius Pilate, Caiaphas, and Salome.
The heartrending tales of Mara and Samuel are interwoven with their desperate love story. Before either meets Yeshua the Nazarene face to face. Before He sets the political, religious, and spiritual landscape on fire. And before either Mara or Samuel are immortalized in the gospels.
Linda Dindzans, M.D. is a writer with the heart of a healer. She offers readers stories of redemption and restoration. And her compelling characters inhabit the treacherous times of the Bible. But Linda believes there is nothing new under the sun. The hopes and struggles of her cast of characters still speak to hearts today. Yet only a profound encounter with the Son transforms her characters from victims to victors.
Linda is a retired ENT surgeon with a longstanding fascination with God’s Word and commitment to in-depth Bible study. She has been a guest speaker at medical conferences, national and regional Christian conferences, and a facilitator for church and home Bible studies.
She is grateful for this time to lay down her scalpel and pick up her pen as she follows a call to write.
During her free time, Linda can be found on the pickleball court. She has no aspirations to win a trophy but remains content to supply the comic relief.
Linda and her husband, a fellow physician, have been blessed with three adult children, a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren. Wisconsin is home, but they travel across the world enjoying photography, birdwatching, and singing in choirs.
Please share Linda’s interview on social media to help spread the word about her book!

I loved hearing about your pets! Funny thing as you were talking about the black kittens in your book, my black cat, Midnight, jumped up and walked to the computer. I asked ‘do you want to hear about the other cats’? He walked away…so I guess not. The book sounds like a really good read. If chosen, would love a paperback copy. Thanks for this opportunity.

I used to not like Biblical fiction, and then a while back I read Rain by Dana McNeely. It was gripping. Now I love Biblical fiction A Certain Man sounds good!
Linda Dindzans
Yes Rain is beautifully written. AndI don’t remember where I heard it, but Dana’s journey to publication is equally intriguing
Deena Adams
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Priscilla!
