Gideon's Army: The Story of the Israelites' Historic Victory Over the Midianites By Michael Oren Israel was just about to be annihilated by several nations who had sworn to destroy it forever when out of nowhere a tiny army led by a young man named Gideon defeats them all! Through divine intervention, God chooses an obscure tribe known as the Israelites to save his people from destruction. Despite their small size, the Israelites go on to become one of the greatest civilizations in history. In this fascinating book, acclaimed historian and former Israeli ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, tells the dramatic story of Israel's survival from its earliest days until today. Oren weaves together ancient history and modern politics to produce a compelling narrative that is also a call to action. He argues that only if we remember how God rescued his chosen people from slavery will we be able to claim his protection for ourselves. With insight and authority, Oren offers a persuasive argument that this small country, almost destroyed by its enemies, is what will save us if we let it.
