By the Waters of Kadesh

By Carole Towriss

Description:

A displaced soldier anticipates only empty tomorrows. A young widow knows nothing but yesterdays filled with abuse and neglect. A spy sees only a today he can manipulate to gain the power he craves. Will they allow Yahweh to give them what they need?

Kamose, once Egypt’s most trusted soldier, no longer has a country to serve or king to protect. Moses insists God has a plan for him, but Kamose is not so sure. Tirzah’s cruel husband died shortly after they left Egypt. She escaped his brutality, but now she’s alone, and once they reach their new land, how will she survive? Gaddiel, Tirzah’s brother-in-law, is chosen as one of the twelve spies sent to scout out Canaan. He’s supposed to go in, get information and come back, but all he really wants is to bring down Joshua.

Book Takeaway:

God is our Refuge, our Rescuer. If we call on HIm in our time of trouble. He will deliver us.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to explore why the ten spies might return and say that they could not conquer the land that God had promised them. What could cause them to doubt him so much?
