Dvorah--Prophetess, Judge, Warrior

Dvorah was a young woman from the tribe of Ephraim. From all accounts, she was a reserved and humble girl, the daughter of farmer. She grew to become the leader of Israel in the days before it was ruled by kings. She inspired the nation and rallied it to defeat its brutal enemy, the Canaanites from Hazor. Under her guidance, Israel had peace, prosperity, for forty years and walked in the ways of their god-loving ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Dvorah forged an unbreakable bond with Barak, and in this telling, a romance as well. This is the story of how her early years forged her into a compassionate, judicious, unbreakable leader. Meticulously researched, Dvorah gives the reader a glimpse into the world of 1200 B.C., where knowing how to weave yarn and bake bricks could make the difference between life and death. It also tells the tale of the romance that might have bloomed between Dvorah and her cousin Barak, kindred spirits who worked together to inspire and lead the army against its abusive enemy. Dvorah is a story for believers who want to learn more about this amazing woman, secularists who are nevertheless fascinated by steely women whose choices helped create the Judeo-Christian story, or avid readers looking for a good adventure/romance novel.
