I've read a lot of historical fiction before, but nothing like this.
SETH'S CROSS by Jeff Randall takes us into the life of an individual in the bible and imagines what his journey was like before his painful death alongside Jesus Christ.
The character Seth represents so much when it comes to understanding your own value and how you don't have to let the sins of the father become the sins of the son (or daughter). We're able to see him wrestle with not just his own value and worth, but the miracles and impact Jesus is having---and a message of hope that seems so far from what Seth can expect for himself.
I love the way Jeff weaves through the thoughts of Seth as he tries to make sense of what he is seeing and hearing, while at the same time trying to drown out the programming of his father.
Whether you're a reader of scripture or not, I think you'll read SETH'S CROSS with not just a love of the story but a realization that we have all been Seth at some point: feeling lost, misunderstood and unworthy. The question comes, though, will we remember who we were created to be before it is too late?
Beautifully delivered and a book that lingers with the reader after you finish turning the pages, SETH'S CROSS is one of the best books I've read in 2025.
Get your copy of SETH'S CROSS on Amazon.
