Heavenly Lights: Noah's Journey

By Barbara M. Britton

Description:

Noah bat Zelophehad might have broken tradition by being able to inherit her father’s land, but her heart’s desire is to have the finest herds in all of Israel, something an orphaned and unmarried woman has never achieved.

Jeremiah ben Abishua cannot speak, nor hear. God has made his thoughts captive to his mind. But he can communicate with one shepherdess, a woman who sees his skill with animals and treats him like a man worthy of respect.

When their people disobey God and incur his wrath, Noah and Jeremiah must overcome tragedy in order to change perceptions in the tribes of Israel. Will their kinship desire to care for one another and the four-legged creatures God has placed in their care, be able to flourish in a land filled with enemies of the One True God?

God gave Noah bat Zelophehad four sisters, a way with four-legged creatures, and a strong spirit. She will need all three gifts to thrive in the Promised Land of God and find love with a special shepherd.

Book Takeaway:

The daughters of Zelophehad journey into God's Promised Land, but when fellow Israelites abandon God, all the people of God will pay for their disobedience. Five orphaned sisters remain faithful to God amid the chaos in the book of Joshua.

Why the author wrote this book:

I couldn't leave the daughters of Zelophehad outside the fortress of Jericho without the inheritance of their father's land. Follow these five orphaned sisters as they journey further into Canaan on a quest for adventure, love, and land.
