Description

Outspoken and fearless, Deborah has faith in God but struggles to see the potential her own life holds. As an Israelite woman, she'll marry, have a family, and seek to teach her children about Adonai--and those tasks seem to be more than enough to occupy her time. But God has another plan for her. Israel has been under the near constant terror of Canaan's armies for twenty years, and now God has called Deborah to deliver her people from this oppression. Will her family understand? Will her people even believe God's calling on her life? And can the menace of Canaan be stopped?

With her trademark impeccable research and her imaginative storytelling, Jill Eileen Smith brings to life the story of Israel's most powerful woman in a novel that is both intriguing and inspiring.

Advance Praise

“At last, the mystical figure of Deborah comes to life! With obvious research and attention to detail, Jill Eileen Smith gives vivid voice to the women at the center of Israel’s victory over Canaan. A tale of strength and faith that bears relevance even today. Not to be missed!”

Tosca Lee, author of The Legend of Sheba and multiple New York Times bestsellers

Praise for The Crimson Cord

“Rahab’s story is one of the most moving redemption accounts in Scripture. The Crimson Cord perfectly captures all the drama of the original, fleshing out the characters with care and thought, and following the biblical account every step of the way. Jill’s thorough research and love for God’s Word are both evident, and her storytelling skills kept me reading late into the night. A beautiful tale, beautifully told!”

—Liz Curtis Higgs, New York Times bestselling author of Mine Is the Night

“The themes of this book—grace, faith, redemption, and healing—are interwoven with an exciting, suspenseful story . . . [Smith] has made Rahab’s dramatic tale newly affecting and vivid.”

Booklist

“Impeccable research and vivid prose from Smith bring the ancient city of Jericho to life. The author’s reinterpretation of a classic Old Testament story rings with authenticity. Christian fiction devotees who relished Tosca Lee’s The Legend of Sheba, Tessa Afshar’s In the Field of Grace, or Angela Hunt’s Esther: Royal Beauty will enjoy this pleasurable read.”
