description: The prophet Deborah. The title hangs on her like a weight, heavy as a sword at her side. High position and great responsibility carry a price--the price of loneliness. Her mind ranges far back over the years to her first meeting with Barak, the man who tomorrow would be loosed on the enemies of God like an arrow from the bow.Barak, Yahweh's chosen warrior. He is weary, and no longer young. He has spent his whole life fighting Jabin of Hazor and his fearsome war chief, Sisera. True, the Isrealites occupy the higher ground, but they are so few compared to Sisera's spearheads and chariots of iron. How can God's army defeat Sisera's when even their commander cannot hold firmly to his faith?From the author of Esther, comes another wonderful story of an old testament female hero. Trudy weaves a wonderful storyline through the short biblical account that makes each character come alive. The reader will experience the lifestyles, traditions, joys, and fears that possibly affected each character, showing their vulnerablities and making them more human. Ultimately teaching us that God worked through people then who were just as fallable as we are today.
