Shiphrah

About this book

Egypt is drowning in miracles -- and Shiphrah is watching it happen from the shadows of a palace.Born generations after her namesake, the midwife who once defied Pharaoh's order to kill Hebrew baby boys, young Shiphrah serves as a slave to the Great Queen herself. When Prince Moses returns from exile with a demand from an unknown God, Shiphrah finds herself the palace's secret eyes and ears -- sneaking through corridors, hiding behind statues, and racing across the desert to warn the ones she loves as plague after plague tears Egypt apart.Then the sea splits, the slaves walk free, and Shiphrah's story becomes something bigger than she ever imagined: a bridge between the God of her ancestors and the world she's leaving behind.Spanning from the halls of Pharaoh's palace to the walls of Jericho, this sweeping biblical saga follows two remarkable women -- Shiphrah, a child caught between two worlds during the Exodus, and Talliya, a girl in Jericho with everything to lose when the Israelites finally arrive at her city gates. Their fates converge in an unforgettable story of faith taking root in the most unlikely hearts.Rich with biblical detail and told through the eyes of the overlooked and unnamed, Shiphrah brings the Exodus and the fall of Jericho to vivid, breathtaking life. This is a story about the God who sees the smallest and most powerless -- and uses them anyway.Step into the sand, the sorrow, and the miracles. Your journey to the Promised Land begins here.
