Claiming Canaan: Milcah's Journey

By Barbara M. Britton

Description:

When the tribal elders make marriage a requirement for claiming her land, Milcah bat Zelophehad must find a betrothed straightaway. The only problem in finding a husband is that all her suitors were slain while conquering the land of Canaan. Men avoid her in order to stay alive.

After praying to God to send her a bold suitor, a man from her father's clan plummets from a tree right on top of her. Is this God answering prayer, or a foolish antic by Eli, the war-scarred brother from one of her clan's rival families.

Will settling in Canaan sort out Milcah's troubles, or have her woes just begun?

Book Takeaway:

God is faithful to His people including five orphaned sisters who have a bold ask of Him.

Why the author wrote this book:

The daughters of Zelophehad were given their deceased father's land by Moses. It took about seven years to conquer Canaan, but the daughters did not forget God's promise. The sisters approach Joshua and remind their leader about their inheritance. In this final installment of the daughters of Zelophehad series, these five orphaned sisters finally get their land.
