Publisher Description
Everyone he loves is about to be annihilated.
When Danel is suddenly orphaned, his childhood dream of becoming a warrior is lost in the relentless grind of running the family bakery. To make matters worse, his grandfather's mind has fled and he keeps disturbing the peace with prophecies of doom. Prophecies that seem destined to come true when a vast army encamps on the borders of their lands. Who are these people and why does their god command them to wipe out everyone in Canaan?
The men of Danel's city are proud of their fighting ability but it soon becomes clear that no battle can succeed against the god who conquered Pharaoh's armies. Seeking reassurance, Danel turns to a famous fortune teller but she only confirms the terrifying future of his grandfather's vision. Yet Danel can't just give up and accept his fate.
But what can a mere baker do to save his family, his city, and his people?

Set in the time of the book of Joshua.
For lovers of Connilyn Cosette, Tessa Afshar, and Lynn Austin.

A great story, from a different perspective
This is a wonderful story on its own, but I appreciated the spiritual lessons as well. It’s a retelling of the Biblical account of the Israelites coming into the Promised Land. It brought history alive. We are reminded that God uses ordinary, flawed people, and that His purposes cannot be thwarted. He wants to restore relationship with us, but He also demands obedience - His plans are for our best, as well. I received a free copy of this story, with no obligation.
