An Awakening at Nain is filled with wonderful bible stories of Jesus healing countless numbers of people He encountered in his short life and ministry. This author often wondered what happened to some of these people, what did they do? What did the man whose withered hand was healed do after his healing? What kind of new future did the Samaritan woman who had a bleeding problem after Jesus healed her? The Gospels have recorded thirty-seven miracles performed by Jesus so what were their stories after their healings?
Over the years there have been authors who have had these same questions wishing there could've been an additional book in the Bible with "Where are they now stories" of those healed. This small fictional historic novella explores one fascinating possibility.
