Description
"The epic adventure tale of a young man who wanted to be counted among Israel's mighty men of old, but finds out quickly that being a hero is not what he expected."
948 BC, Israel. A quiet year. Prosperous. King Solomon sits the throne and peace covers the land like a blanket tucked snugly beneath the chin.
But not all is as it seems. Whispers abound. Tales of amassing armies and midnight assassins. Waking demons and children cast upon altars of fire.
For the young sheepherder, Joshua, the stories seem fantastical. He lives in Shulem and nothing exciting ever happens in Shulem. Goats outnumber people ten to one. Sheep fifty to one. But then one morning Joshua returns from the fields to find his uncle's head set on a pike and his mother and sister missing. Beside the ashes of his still smouldering house, the prophet Eli is waiting with a mysterious message from Elohim. Judgment comes swiftly.
Joshua flees Shulem. Pursued by shadowy assassins through the forests of Bashan and into the Argob, fabled land of the giants, Joshua must learn to put his faith in Elohim even as everything is taken from him - his home, his family, even the slave girl he pulled down a mountain to free.
If you enjoyed "The Peasant King," you'll love this thrilling tale of adventure, faith, and sacrifice.
