A DEBUT NOVEL

By Their Fruits

A Novel of Freedom and Forgiveness

False prophets will come as wolves in sheep’s clothing. They’re known, not by their clothes—but by their fruits.

I'm Beth Sage, and I hope this novel leaves a profound impact on your heart.

My journey began in a high-control religious group, where I spent the first thirty-five years of my life. This experience ignited my quest for truth, leading me to courageously investigate allegations of abuse that shook my community.

I approached these complex narratives through a journalistic lens, weaving together personal journeys into compelling stories.

My debut novel, By Their Fruits, is a testament to my commitment to uncovering truth and honoring my relationship with God. I am deeply passionate about biblical discourse and empowering others to grow in their faith.

When I'm not writing, you'll find me enjoying the simple pleasures of life in Phoenix, AZ, where I live with my wonderful husband and our beloved dog. I love to spend my time gardening, hiking, and dancing—activities that keep me grounded and inspired.

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope my stories resonate with you and inspire your own journey of faith and discovery.

What a blessing! A must-read! You can experience the author’s vulnerability on each page. I recommend By Their Fruits to readers interested in exploring power dynamics in religious groups, mental health, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

I really enjoyed this book! I wasn’t sure what to expect with a topic like this, but I was immediately drawn in by the main character, Victoria, and the author’s engaging writing style. Beth Sage has an incredible gift for bringing her characters and plot to life—every twist and turn feels intentional, yet nothing is ever predictable. Victoria’s journey of healing and forgiveness was both powerful and moving. This is truly a must-read!
