Overview

Once she denied everything she believed in. Now she’d give anything to choose differently. But in the shadow of the Roman Empire’s persecution and the shame of her past, she fears that what she wants most will be forever out of reach.

Eastern Roman Empire, AD 310. In the shadow of Emperor Diocletian’s anti-Christian edicts, Demitria makes a meager living harvesting coral and pearls for a merchant who turns a blind eye to her faith. By night, Demi goes upriver with her brother, Theseus, to obtain provisions for fellow believers in the port city of Myra. While willing to risk her own life to ensure others are safe and fed, Demi lives with a desperate fear for those she loves and carries secret shame over her greatest failure. When Theseus is injured in a diving accident, all seems lost, until a stranger named Nikolas appears on the beach and offers help.

Arriving in a sinking boat, Nikolas is burdened by guilt over his older brother’s tragic death. Though the wealth he inherited from a prosperous shipping business now rests at the bottom of the sea, as the new pastor in Myra, he is determined to recover it and use it for good. As the violence against Christians increases, Demi helps Nikolas retrieve his lost fortune and distribute it to those in dire need.

Despite wondering if she can ever be worthy, Demi is drawn to Nikolas and longs to trust in his belief that freedom can be found in forgiveness. Then one terrifying night, everything changes as the Roman Empire’s fury rains down. Demi has no other choice but to decide if she has the courage to do what she once failed to . . . and if the faith she calls her own is sure enough to carry her.

In this powerful novel of unquenchable faith in the midst of persecution, Jamie Ogle excavates the stories of the legendary Nikolas of Myra. The turbulent Roman Empire comes alive through expert research and vibrant settings, but the journey of the characters transcends the centuries. Breathtaking and deeply inspiring, this is a story readers will hold in their hearts long beyond the last page.

With rich detail and beautiful writing, Jamie Ogle has written my new favorite book of the year—As Sure as the Sea. I found myself craving to be a part of the early church . . . and relating to Demi in profound ways. I devoured the book and yet, I didn’t want the story to end.

As Sure as the Sea left me with a deep sense of awe for the courage and determination of those in the early church who risked everything to share the love of Jesus while enduring relentless persecution. This compelling, richly researched story of sacrifice and healing is definitely one not to be missed.

Ogle (Of Love and Treason) sets this captivating historical in an ancient Turkey roiling with religious tension. Ogle keeps the suspense sky-high as sparks fly between Demi and Nikolas and both question how far they’re willing to go to uphold their faith. It’s a winning mix of thrills and heart.
