Judea has always been the crossroads and battlefield of contending nations. It is no less so in this biblical time of Barak and Deborah. Uriah Tarhund’s Hititte home is destroyed by invading Greeks. His dying father tells him to go south to seek a Canaanite named Sisera. “He will help you. For my sake. . . .”
Uriah is plunged into the tumult of an uneasy Judea. When he saves a young boy from being sacrificed to Moloch, he is given succor for a time by the Hebrews. Later, he finds Sisera and joins him in war against these same people. When the Canaanites are defeated, the young Hittite has the opportunity to come to a peace with himself, the Hebrew people and their God.
This meticulously researched novel is set in the time of Judges, and incorporates Biblical facts with a gripping story, set against the wide background of ancient civilizations. Includes an introduction by Laura Berquist, author of Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum

Reviews
"My older son(15 yrs.) loved this story! This contains mature elements(human sacrifice)in an Old Testament setting. These themes are tempered with human caring and Grace, so the horrors of these deeds are not the focal point. True Biblical characters during the time of the Judges play a major role. This is a fascinating tale and it is loaded with adventure! "
