In a mysterious shelter in the forest, her training is about to begin under the guidance of Mallick, whose skills have been honed over centuries.

And when the time is right, she will take up the sword, and fight. For until she grows into the woman she was born to be, the world outside will never be whole again." --

In Not My Will… Jerry Jenkins invites you into the tumultuous final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry—what’s become known as Holy Week. Beginning with His triumphant entry into Jerusalem astride a donkey’s colt, the story covers a side of Jesus we haven’t seen before: His righteous rage at the moneychangers in the temple. The story delves deeply into the minds of the disciples and other close followers of Jesus, including the fear and scheming of both High Priest Caiaphas and Governor Pontius Pilate and his dream-tormented wife. Judas’s haunting betrayal looms while Jesus faces His darkest night of the soul in Gethsemane, where His surrender to His Father and then to the Romans comes at an unspeakable cost. In vivid detail and with emotional depth, this novel captures the heartbreak, hope, and humanity of the most pivotal week in the history of the world. More than retelling the story, Not My Will… takes you deeper into the hearts and minds of the show’s many intriguing characters like Mary Magdalene, Pontius Pilate and his wife Claudia, and Judas.
