God's Illuminating Blindness

By Dwight David Croy

Description:

Committed Yahweh followers are forced to navigate military might, political power, and spiritual storms in an increasingly hostile dark world. Naaman, now touched personally by the mighty hand of Yahweh, must lead his family, iron ring, and three boys in the strange walk of faith not understood in their home of Damascus. As new followers of Yahweh, they find themselves pitted against Aram’s darkness, its king, soldiers, Rimmon priests, assassins, and shaman warriors. Motivated by the dark god Rimmon, the god of lightning, storm, and thunder, the king is enraged at the power of Yahweh. King Ben-hadad works to combat the new followers through intrigue. The tribal nation of Aram mounts an attack on Israel to find the prophet Elisha to capture and kill. Naaman and his friends’ lives are forfeit if the king’s attack is a failure. The servants of Naaman find themselves being exploited to attack Israel and capture Elisha. Once again, Yahweh introduces himself to the firepits of Aram and the whole of the Assyrian Empire. Experience how Naaman and his friends show light to a dark world.

Book Takeaway:

The message of Yahweh was alive and well influencing the nations around Israel even if God's Nation presented his holiness sparsely.

Why the author wrote this book:

The result of doing more research on II Kings 5 and 6. The research helped me decide to do a series on the short history of the tribal nation of Aram which is now "Syria" today. Lots of similarities between America and Aram, but I let the reader decide on those things for themselves.
