The Walls of Arad

By Carole Towriss

Description:

Everyone knows Joshua fought the battle of Jericho. But before Jericho, there was Arad…
Forty years have passed since Israel escaped Egypt. Their punishment is over, and the time to take the land is finally here. Arisha, a secret worshipper of Yahweh, fled Canaan in search of safety. Under Miriam’s care she has begun to heal, but Miriam is close to death. She wants to be assured this abused and abandoned young woman will have a good life, and she entreats Zadok to marry her.
Zadok is the grandson of Bezalel, architect of the Tabernacle, and great-grandson of Hur, advisor to Moses. Selected by Aaron to shepherd the Tabernacle flock, he has a gentle spirit Miriam believes can help heal Abigail’s heart. The Canaanite king of Arad has heard about the mighty deeds of Israel’s God, and fears he will be destroyed as Egypt was. When Arad goes on the offensive, Zadok will have to make a choice. This time a shepherd’s heart cannot save Arisha. This time, she needs a warrior.

Book Takeaway:

Home is where the Lord has placed you.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote this book to tell the story of Arad, the first city conquered by the Israelites after their 40 years in the wilderness.
