    Light of Nations Series

    By Christine Dillon

    ()

    About this series

    What if life is built on the wrong foundation?

     

    Kheti and his family have farmed papyrus along the Nile for generations. Kheti is confident the gods of Egypt and the harmony maintained by the divine Pharaoh are the sources of his prosperity. Then he watches his beloved river turn to blood, his crops fail, and his nation descend into chaos.

    The Hebrew God wants his people released from slavery.

    When the gods remain silent and Pharaoh is powerless to stop the carnage, Kheti wrestles with which way to turn. Replant his flattened crops and cling to Egypt's gods? Or forsake his roots to follow new friends and a new faith to a distant land?

     

    Could there be a place in God's family for an Egyptian who kept God's people as slaves?

      Sometimes freedom and family are found in unexpected places.   Inanna, an Amorite chieftain's daughter, craves to be free as the eagles that fly above her hometown. Utu, her loyal twin, just wants to keep his wayward sister out of trouble. Neither succeeds and their dreams are uprooted as they're sold into slavery. During their forced travels, they encounter nations they'd only known from stories, palaces beyond description, and fickle kings claiming to be all-powerful deities. Yet when serving the wandering household of Avram and Sarai from Ur, they encounter a mystery god intent on upturning national boundaries, calling new loyalties, and directing the eyes of his followers to dreams vaster than the star-filled sky. But what has this god of unexpected paths and promises to offer two Amorite slaves?
