Pursuit of Zedek

About this book

Giants. Deadly intrigue. Powerful kings muster five armies into one mighty force bent on destroying Israel. Can this really be the long-awaited Promised Land?When the Children of Israel destroy Jericho, Adoni-Zedek refuses to stand idly by. He rallies a desperate alliance, determined to halt the unstoppable force. While the Gibeonites choose submissive deceit over certain destruction, only the Anakim giants, lurking in the shadows, grasp the grim reality: this is no mere territorial battle-it is a war between the ancient gods of Canaan and Yahweh.As Joshua pursues a king arrogant enough to call himself Adoni-Zedek, Lord of Righteousness, his young warriors find themselves in pursuit of another kind of zedek. Amidst the brutality of conquest, what does it mean to do right? The trauma of war impacts everyone remaining in the Gilgal camp-and none more than Rahab, the beautiful refugee from Jericho haunted by her past. She longs for inclusion, but this is the camp of Yahweh. Is love and acceptance even possible for a woman like her?
