Overview: “The epic adventure tale of a young man who wanted to be counted among Israel’s mighty men of old, but finds out that being a hero is not at all what he expected.”
948 BC, Israel. A quiet year. Prosperous. King Solomon sits the throne and peace covers the land like a blanket tucked snugly beneath the chin.
But beneath the covers, the slumbering people stir uneasily. Whispers spread. Tales of amassing armies and midnight assassins. Waking demons and children cast upon altars of fire.
For the young sheepherder, Joshua, the stories seem fantastical. He lives in Shulem and nothing exciting ever happens in Shulem. Goats outnumber people fifty to one. And then one morning he returns from the fields to find his uncle’s head set on a pike and his mother and sister missing. Finds also a prophet waiting for him beside the ashes of his house. Together, they flee. Pursued by mysterious assassins through the forests of Bashan and into the Argob, fabled land of the giants, Joshua must learn to put his faith in Elohim even as everything is taken from him – his home, his family, even the slave girl he pulled down a mountain to free.
If you enjoyed “The Peasant King,” you’ll love this thrilling tale of adventure, faith, and sacrifice.
