Now Updated and re-edited 1262 BC A warm swirl... a breath... a smile answered her thoughts, encircling her, cocooning her in a sense of peace... and love. Within His presence Deborah was aware that all fear had left, as though it had been defeated by a greater master. She sat motionless, concerned lest she disturb the sacred air around her, that HE might leave. However, when morning thrust its rosy fingers through the window, His presence was gone. Still, the imprint of the previous night was firmly embedded in her being. From that moment she knew. Despite the fact that He was ultimately powerful and all-loving, change was coming bringing with it pain and death. In this epic, biblical story of adventure, romance and war, each character must stand alone. Facing their demons each must choose courage and faith over fear and complacency.
