Joshua has fled from evil King Manasseh, and has led the faithful remnant to their new home in Egypt. But years pass, and Joshua's desire for vengeance becomes an obsession. He is blinded by his hatred of King Manasseh and that hatred, will cause him to make bad decisions, which places many people in grave danger. Once again Miriam will step in and save Joshua's life, but in the process do damage to her own. Joshua will finally see Miriam for the person she really is and love will finally blossom. But there is a continuing battle with Joshua to seek revenge.

This story spans many years, and in the end you will finally see many of the main characters finally grasp the great love their Heavenly Father has for them, and for the chosen people of Judah? Very much appreciated the way this author wrote this series about a time in Bible history I was not that knowledgeable of. Did things unfold just like this story, probably not, but the end result of King Manasseh was a fact from scripture. A job well done and well told. ( )

Epigraph
The Lord is my strength and my song;

he has become my salvation.

He is my God, and I will praise him,

my father's God, and I will exalt him....

Who among the gods is like you, O Lord?

Who is like you--majestic in holiness,

awesome in glory, working wonders?

Exodus 15:2, 11
