FAITH NEWS SERVICE – A Single Bible. Three Lives Forever Changed.

United States—Monday, May 19, 2025

Maureen Miller’s “Gideon’s Book” will be available tomorrow, May 20, 2025 and ebook free to download for five days through May 24, 2025.

What if one tattered Bible could thread together the lives of three strangers across nearly five decades? In “Gideon’s Book,” award-winning author Maureen Miller invites readers on a poignant journey through time, weaving together brokenness and beauty, secrets and salvation—all linked by the quiet power of a well-worn book and an unrelenting God.

Told through a captivating time-split narrative, “Gideon’s Book” unites three characters who couldn’t be more different—Cassie, a modern-day woman facing a devastating health diagnosis; Ava, a teenager on the brink of adulthood in 1969; and Gideon, a successful architect searching for meaning after years of personal turmoil. From the bustling boardwalks of Myrtle Beach to the quiet reflection of Eden, North Carolina, their stories unfold, echoing the heartbreaks, hopes, and hard-earned wisdom of lives intersected by grace.

Gideon’s Book offers more than a compelling narrative—it delivers a powerful reminder that no decision is isolated and no life is beyond the reach of redemption. With her signature depth and emotional insight, Maureen Miller—whose work has been featured in over 20 book compilations—crafts a story for anyone who has questioned their worth, wrestled with regret, or longed to know they’re not alone.

With themes reminiscent of The Notebook and the spiritual depth of Stepping Heavenward, “Gideon’s Book” explores the ripple effects of one fateful week in the summer of 1969—and the legacy of love and faith that followed.

Early readers are calling it:

• “An emotional page-turner with heart and soul.”
• “Beautifully written and spiritually rich.”
• “A multi-generational tapestry of hope.”

Maureen Miller’s paperback will be available on Tuesday, May 20; with the e-book free to download on Amazon for 5 days, Tuesday, May 20 through May 24, 2025. “Gideon’s Book” debuted to rave reviews! Here’s what just a couple of the reviewers have said:

5 Stars Redemption runs through it.
I was wiping tears as I finished reading this book. A beautifully written, real and raw story, interwoven with redemption. Truly timeless, the writer delves into more than one controversial topic with grace and compassion. This would be a great read for discussion in a book club.

5 Stars Endearing Characters, Eternal Ramifications!
Maureen Miller takes readers on an emotional roller coaster ride with her time-slip. Through the characters’ heartbreaks, heartaches, and heart-thrills, you’ll see God’s hand at work in both the smallest pebbles and highest mountains Cassie, Ava, and Gideon encounter.
