Uriah the Hittite has found refuge from the Greeks in the Canaanite city of Tyre. Now the decision by Jotham, the Hebrew, to save a child from being sacrificed to Moloch forces Uriah to choose life over reverence of Tyre's fearsome god. The three escape to the hill country of Judea, where Deborah and Barak are mustering the Hebrews to fight the Canaanites. This meticulously researched novel is set in the time of the Judges, and incorporates Biblical facts with a gripping story, set against the wide background of ancient civilizations.

My 11yr old daughter is reading this book, recommended by our homeschool curriculum. She is so excited when she reads about Biblical figures in the novel. The book has helped make the Bible come alive for her.

Another excellent historical novel by Bethlehem Books! This story is definitely a page-turner, with many twists and turns in the plot. I was amazed at how well the author drew me into the ancient world, and led me into an understanding of how people thought and felt (as well as lived their daily lives). In fact, my only concern is that it's TOO accurate for younger readers (below middle school), since violent raids, war, and child sacrifice were a part of this culture.
