Acsah is the only daughter of the mighty Caleb, Israel’s most famous spy. When Acsah can’t seem to choose a husband, Caleb feels he must step in, and she soon finds herself betrothed to a warrior. That’s the last thing she wants, however. Soldiers are never home....
Othniel has loved Acsah for as long as he can remember. When Caleb makes his unbelievable promise of picking a trusted warrior for her husband, he fights not only for Israel but for her hand in marriage.
Once safely settled in Debir, Acsah relaxes, believing Othniel can stay home and never fight again ... until the giants come back and threaten nearby Anab. Can Acsah deny the people of Anab her husband’s skill and leave them to the giants … or can she trust God if her husband goes to fight once again?

Book Takeaway:

Sometimes God surprises us and takes us on a different journey than what we had planned. we must trust that He has our best in mind.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote Prize of War because I wanted to know more about the daughter of Caleb. She married her cousin, who became Israel's first judge. I thought they made an amazing couple.
