Not sure if I am a member of this group or not, but if not, would certainly like to join.
Also, I would like to call to your attention and propose a review on my
historical novel about women in the Bible:
THE TRIUMPH OF DEBORAH
If you would like to consider the book for review I will be happy to send
in a copy.
Recently published by Plume/Penguin, it offers a daring interpretation of
the riveting tale of one of the most beloved biblical figures: the revered
leader, judge and prophetess Deborah, who led her people to war and also to
peace.
In ancient Israel, war is looming. Deborah has convinced warrior Barak to
launch a strike against the neighboring Canaanites, who threaten their
people with destruction. Against all odds he succeeds, returning
triumphantly with two daughters of the defeated king as his captives. But
military victory is only the beginning of a personal turmoil, of which
Deborah becomes part.
Despite setbacks in her own life, she gropes her way toward her greatest
triumph: the attainment of peace. Will she be able to persuade Barak to be
her emissary of peace, as he had previously carried out her design for war?
Following the lead in the bible (Judges, 4-5) the novel pays tribute to the
feminine strength of Deborah from which women today may derive inspiration.
Despite the difficult conditions for women prevailing at the time, she
"cracked the glass ceiling" over three thousand years ago. What all women
can learn from Deborah is that no matter what the field in which they
choose to realize their potential, no matter what is right for them, they
can draw on their inner strength to achieve it.
THE TRIUMPH OF DEBORAH comes in the wake of my two previous biblical
novels, THE SONG OF HANNAH and THE GARDEN OF RUTH, which have already had
six printings, each).
The novels are not just for those with an affinity to the Scripture. They
all have intriguing plots, have frequently been referred to as "page
turners" and are written in a light style, first and foremost for reading
pleasure. Yet, in a rather painless way, they impart some knowledge of
history in biblical times.
