Abstract

This novel brings to life Israel's first prophetess and judge--a woman whose calling shattered cultural norms and whose leadership exalted her nation. Wooed by the wind and by the love of her husband-to-be, and the voice of Yahweh Himself, Deborah leaves forever the security of her father's house. Her faith becomes buffeted and sharpened by pagan culture. Her unusual relationship with Yahweh draws derision from devout and pagan alike. Then, despite wrenching personal sacrifice, she emerges as God's oracle and instrument for reuniting Israel.
