Description
The Old Testament stories of David come to vibrant life in Brave. . . . Wonderful!--Angela Hunt, Christy Award-winning author of The Emissaries
In the tumultuous world of ancient Israel, Ahinoam--a dagger-wielding Kenite woman--flees her family farm with her unconventional father to join the ragtag band of misfits led by the shepherd-turned-warrior David ben Jesse. As King Sauls treasonous accusations echo through the land, Ahinoams conviction that Davids anointing makes him Yahwehs chosen king propels her on a perilous journey to Moab and back into Judahs unforgiving wilderness, only to encounter more hardship and betrayal.
Amid the challenges, Ahinoam forges an unexpected bond with Davids sister and gains respect among Davids army through her knowledge of Kenite metalworking. Though some offer friendship, Ahinoam, scarred by past relationships, isolates to avoid more pain and refuses to acknowledge her growing feelings for the renegade king. As Ahinoams heart grapples for footing, King Sauls army closes in, and Ahinoam must confront the true meaning of love, loyalty, and courage. Is she brave enough to trust new friends and love Israels next king?
