Shifts by Christopher Meredith
Jerusalem, early first century A.D.A community struggles to rise and spread its message in a country torn by political and religious power. A small group within the holy city recognize they must carry on their master's work, that they must remind its inhabitants who live divided by political, social and religious issues, that there is one Lord they can all turn to.
Their master's brother, James, now leads this mixture of disciples. He attempts to keep the community together, arguing their rights before political and religious leaders whilst his men are hounded by the law. One such persecutor is Saul, who, through revelation, changes sides and joins James. Saul brings change to the group's outlooks as they all attempt to bring that true meaning to their master's words in the face of religious, political as well as social disapproval.
