Ally, Josh and Brendan are half siblings living in Australia who have a difficult situation to face at School and at home. They have a special interest in the past as they have previously embarked on two time-travelling adventures with God's divine help.
Once again they embark on their latest time-travelling adventure into first century, ancient Syria. On the road to Damascus the children meet the frightening Commander who is on a mission to find and punish anyone who disagrees with his religious views. The children must quickly learn who can be trusted in this dystopian Village as they push back against the darkness and look for the truth. In time, the children learn that ordinary people with extraordinary faith in God can have a monumental impact throughout the generations.
With the help of biblical heroes of old, this coming of age story will help young people discover their own unique purpose and mission in life. If you enjoy action-packed, suspenseful drama enveloped in cultural history, you are going to love "Time to Shine".

Read an exclusive excerpt:
It was about noon in the middle of the day, and Saul was completely exasperated. Instead of acquiring a son, this terrible ordeal had produced only hot winds. Saul had won no victories, nor would he have any descendants to take over the earth. He threw off his coat, and tossed handfuls of dust into the air. This gesture was enough to send his men into a tailspin. They were mortified… and they turned to the culprits and asked:
“What on earth have you done?”
Saul pointed angrily at Baasha:
“Confess! Why this disaster? Where do you come from? What family?”
“I am a Hebrew… I worship GOD, the God of heaven who made the sea and land!” Baasha explained hurriedly.
Ariston was just about to say that he was descended from the exact same tribe as Saul, but he didn’t get the chance. A bright light, far brighter than the sun suddenly poured out of the sky. Everyone fell face down on the ground in sheer terror.
