Produktbeschreibung
Biblical history comes to life! This book is a fascinating blend of historical fact and narrative fiction that weaves a rich tapestry of the life and times of the biblical prophet Isaiah. It begins during the reign of King Uzziah who plays a major part in determining the parents of Isaiah. The mother rejects her baby who is then raised by his father, a court reporter in the palace. Isaiah was an unwanted child, a reluctant prophet, who worked during the reigns of four kings. He overcame his hesitation and served for 60 years as a messenger for God, preparing the people of Judah first to survive the invasion of Assyria, then later to prepare for the more serious captivity under Babylon. He wrote many of the beautiful promises we memorize today that continue to comfort God's people as we prepare for the Second Coming. The book has it all-drama, jealousy, narrow escapes, pagan worship of idols, wars and enslavement, deception, leprosy, royalty, intrigue, an earthquake, kidnapping, child sacrifice, romance, miracles, the rise and fall of kingdoms-set against a historical backdrop rich in details with unparalleled scope. These details of life and everyday conversation paint a realistic picture of Isaiah's life from childhood to youth and on to adulthood. No spoiler alerts here. You have to read the book! "You will never think about Isaiah in the same way after reading Dr. Virginia Smith's book on his life and ministry. Be prepared for a creative and enlightening read that brings the ancient prophet vividly to life." ~ George R. Knight, Professor Emeritus of Church History, Andrews University "I was able to relate to parts of the book, and it expanded my imagination, so I want to study more in the Bible. This is a must-read book about Isaiah." ~ Michaela Yonathan, 12-years old "This book took me to new heights of my love for prophetic books-a perfect book for teens and young adults." ~ Dr. Kham Khan Khai, Lecturer, Asia-Pacific International University
