About
In this epic Biblical narrative, ideal for fans of The Bible miniseries, a young woman taken into the prophet Isaiah's household rises to capture the heart of the future king.
Isaiah adopts Ishma, giving her a new name-Zibah, delight of the Lord-thereby ensuring her royal pedigree. Ishma came to the prophet's home, devastated after watching her family destroyed and living as a captive. But as the years pass, Zibah's lively spirit wins Prince Hezekiah's favor, a boy determined to rebuild the kingdom his father has nearly destroyed. But loving this man will awake in her all the fears and pain of her past and she must turn to the only One who can give life, calm her fears, and deliver a nation.
Prologue
Songs are written of sons, but daughters are left to whispers.
So gather near, friend, to hear of a daughter beyond imagining. She had the heart of a lion. Braver than a soldier. Wiser than a king. She was queen in Judah long after King David's bones had turned to dust. Long after the arrogance of Solomon's son split Israel into two nations.
When the northern tribes seized the name Israel, the southern tribes called their new nation Judah and placed David's descendants on their throne. Judah's capital was the city of Jerusalem and its God was named Yahweh. But Israel bowed to pagan gods and even led some of Judah's kings astray.
Yahweh's prophets spewed warnings, and Judah's brave daughter, the lion-hearted queen, dared ask the prophets why? When? And how will Yahweh's judgment fall?
One incomparable prophet answered, foretelling Assyria's cruelty as Yahweh's weapon of wrath. Isaiah, a man born to royalty, shouted at kings and comforted beggars.
