Description
Four hundred years in slavery, the Hebrew people await deliverance. . . .
And while it is still dark, God is at work.
Jochebed s entire life has been a faith journey as she seeks her mother s God. The daughter of a Hebrew slave and master basket weaver, Jochebed knows the stories of her ancestors but wonders if the Lord cares how they suffer under the hand of Pharaoh Ramses. . .and if the promised deliverance will everreally come.
Ramses, warned of Egypt s destruction, vows to do whatever is necessary to protect his two great loves, Egypt and Nefertari, unaware that satisfying one will sacrifice the other.
Shiphrah, the half-Egyptian midwife tasked to kill Hebrew male infants, yearns for a place to belong and remembers childhood stories of a merciful God.
Doubts are a constant companion to Jochebed, but her foundation of faith leads her to defy the most powerful man in the world in a deadly race to save her son and, ultimately, God s chosen people. Two women, each following the dangerous path God has set before them this is their story.
