Omar Al-Farsi, the celebrated architect and prodigal son of a powerful Saudi family, returns to Riyadh a national hero. To the world, he is the sole survivor of a catastrophic plane crash, a man whose Muslim faith sustained him for two years on a desolate island. This celebrated survival, however, is a carefully constructed lie.

On that island, the man they knew died, and a new one was born—a follower of Jesus Christ. Now, back in the heart of a kingdom where his new faith is a crime punishable by death, Omar must navigate a life of dangerous duplicity. Hailed as a miracle, he is thrust back into his old life and commanded to design the Al-Noor Mosque, a glorious monument to the very faith he has forsaken. His family’s love is a golden cage, their expectations a crushing weight. Every prayer to Allah is a betrayal of his soul; every moment of silence is a risk.

Desperate for fellowship, Omar seeks out the "whispering network" of hidden believers. In a dusty workshop, among a small flock of expatriate Christians, he finds a new family and a new purpose: to build a secret sanctuary, a house for God hidden in the heart of a hostile land. But in a world of shadows, loyalty is fragile. As Omar’s every move is watched, a seed of fear is planted within his own flock, and a devastating betrayal sets the stage for a confrontation he cannot escape.

Forced from the shadows and onto the witness stand, Omar must make a final, irrevocable choice: renounce his Savior and save his life, or confess his King and embrace the sword. The Builder of Saudi Arabia is a gripping novel of faith under fire, exploring the cost of discipleship when obedience means losing everything.

Book 11 in the 21st Century House Churches series, this novel can be read as a standalone story.
