The King David’s Brides series is available wherever books are sold.
Book #2 in the King David’s Brides series, Noble: The Story of Maakah, launches TODAY!
(Book #1, Brave: The Story of Ahinoam, also available (released October 2024)
There’s a strange tension in releasing a new book. On one hand, it’s a joy and an honor to share the fruit of long labor. On the other hand, it’s an act of surrender—letting go of something deeply personal and offering it up to be used by the Lord however He sees fit.
With Noble, that feeling has grown even deeper. Maakah’s story—though fictionalized—comes from a real place in Scripture and in my heart. She was a woman caught between kingdoms, between expectations and convictions, between duty and desire. Her journey reminded me so often of the psalms of David—songs of wrestling, of trust, of longing, of worship.
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.” Psalm 28:7
Something Different on Release Day:
As your Noble preorder delivers to your mailbox, tablets, and phones–or if you’ve already purchased it today, I’d love to invite you into a guided prayer. Just a simple invitation to join me—wherever you are—as we ask the Lord to do what only He can do through Princess Maakah’s story.
Turning Written Words Into Prayer & Worship:
As you read the Scriptures and prayers below, simply speak them to El-Shama–the God who hears.
#1 – Pray for the readers who feel unseen.
“You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.” Psalm 32:7
Maakah lived much of her life in the shadows of others’ expectations. I believe there are readers who will see their own stories in hers. Pray they will sense the nearness of the God who sees and delivers.
#2 – Pray for those struggling to trust God’s timing.
“I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry.” Psalm 40:1
Whether it’s unanswered prayers, delayed dreams, or a heart that feels forgotten, I pray this book speaks into the quiet spaces where hope feels hard.
#3 – Pray for the team spreading this story all over the internet.
“May the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!” Psalm 90:17
From influencers to launch team members, so many hands have joined to help share Noble. Please pray for encouragement, protection, and fruitfulness as they speak words of life into their communities.
#4 – Pray for me.
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10
I want to stay grounded, grateful, and obedient. Pray that my heart would stay soft to God’s voice and that my words—written and spoken—would always reflect His grace and truth.
#5 – Pray for the book.
“He sends out his word, and it melts them; he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.” Psalm 147:18
Books go places we never could. Into hospital rooms. Quiet corners. Airports. Lonely nights. Pray that Noble would land in the hands of those who need it most—and that its words would stir hearts toward the Word.
I’m So Grateful
Thank you for being part of this launch—through prayer, support, and faithful encouragement. More than anything, I pray that Noble: The Story of Maakah draws each reader closer to the God who surrounds us with steadfast love.
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” Psalm 19:14

Congratulations! This must be the project you were speaking about when we first met at FCWC. Well done! Love the prayer launch.
Yes, Patricia, this is the one! Roy (hubby) helped me finish it in time to meet my deadline. The story of #NOBLEnovel turned out even better than I could have imagined it alone. Praise Jesus for the wonderful team the Lord has placed around me for my good and His glory! 🥰🙌
Mesu, wishing you much success in the launch of Noble. I am currently reading another of your books. They are always a compelling read as well as a blessing.
