The Heart Changer

By Jarm Del Boccio

Description:

Can an Israelite captive, wrenched from all she loves, serve the very man who destroyed her village?

Miriam is asked to to the impossible: serve the wife of Naaman, commander of the Syrian army. Clinging to treasured memories of home and faith, Miriam faces captivity with bitterness. Little does she know the Heart Changer is preparing her for a greater mission — far beyond what she could imagine.

This middle-grade historical novel reflects the heartache and angst of a young refugee in a foreign land where all hope seems lost.

Book Takeaway:

Young lives are full of angst and uncertainty, but when God intervenes, He changes hearts and weaves their trials into a beautiful tapestry, colored with hope and joy.

Why the author wrote this book:

I've always had a heart for the children in Scripture who have no name or backstory, but have made a great impact on the lives of others. I have given both to Naaman's wife's servant girl, whom I call Miriam. This fictionalized account is taken from 2 Kings 5.
