Inspirational Historical
The novel offers a daring interpretation of the riveting
tale of one of the most beloved biblical figures: the
revered leader, judge and prophetess Deborah, who led her
people to war and also to peace.
In ancient Israel, war is looming. Deborah has convinced
warrior Barak to launch a strike against the neighboring
Canaanites, who threaten their people with destruction.
Against all odds he succeeds, returning triumphantly with
two daughters of the defeated king as his captives. But
military victory is only the beginning of a personal
turmoil, of which Deborah becomes part. Despite setbacks in her own life, she gropes her way toward
her greatest triumph: the attainment of peace. Will she be
able to persuade Barak to be her emissary of peace, as he
had previously carried out her design for war?
