CHRONICLES OF THE KINGS—Book 5
Among the Gods
Book five in this series tells of the continuing conflict between the boyhood friends Manasseh and Joshua, now bitter enemies. Both find themselves separated from the religious environment of their youth and seeking the true God “among the gods” of the surrounding heathen nations.
After the priests and Levites escape to Egypt, King Manasseh becomes deeply involved in pagan Canaanite and Babylonian religions. Meanwhile, Joshua and his followers try to cling to the true worship of God in the midst of a pagan Egyptian culture that threatens to lure their children away from Yahweh.
When Joshua sees an opportunity to free his home-land from Manasseh’s wicked reign, he becomes involved in an assassination plot that risks his own life as well as the lives of the people he loves. Joshua must learn to let go of his anger and bitterness or risk destroying himself and his community.
