God King: A Story in the Days of King Hezekiah (Living History Library)

Joanne Williamson A never before published tale carries the reader back to Ancient Egypt and to the biblical Jerusalem. Around 701 B.C. Egypt is being ruled by the Kushite dynasty. Young Prince Taharka, a very minor royal son interested in healing, is content to have no principal part to play in that rule. However, it is he and not the expected Prince Shabataka who succeeds to the throne of Kush and Egypt-a "divine" rulership. As Taharka grows older, he becomes resigned to the duties of being a god. Then, a treacherous plot pushes him into sudden exile and into the hands of Amos, an emissary of King Hezekiah, sent to seek help for Judea from the Egyptians against the Assyrians. Far from home, Taharka encounters two kings in conflict. One is the mighty Assyrian, Sennacherib, promising alliance; the other is Hezekiah, the Jew who trusts in Yahweh. Taharka must choose with whom to live..

Letters from Rifka

“America,” the girl repeated. “What will you do there?”I was silent for a little time.“I will do everything there,” I answered.Rifka knows nothing about America when she flees from Russia with her family in 1919. But she dreams she will at last be safe from the Russian soldiers and their harsh treatment of the Jews in the new country. Throughout her journey, Rifka carries with her a cherished volume of poetry by Alexander Pushkin. In it, she records her observations and experiences in the form of letters to her beloved cousin she has left behind. Strong-hearted and determined, Rifka must endure a great deal: humiliating examinations by doctors and soldiers, deadly typhus, separation from all she has ever known and loved, murderous storms at sea—and as if this is not enough, the loss of her glorious golden hair. And even if she does make it to America, she’s not sure America will have her...
