Servant of the Gods

When Devorah b?Shiri first lays eyes on Aryeh ben Abinoam, she sets in motion events leading to the ultimate survival of the Tribes of Israel...The inspirational ?Song of Deborah,? from the Book of Judges in the Bible, describes the victorious tale of how, against all odds, a rag-tag army commanded by Deborah and Barak conquers an extraordinarily powerful enemy force to lay claim to Israel and its people. Deborah's Song is one of courage, tenacity and divine intervention, from the defeat of hostile forces to the death of the Canaanite leader, Sisera, at the hands of Jael.In Servant of the Gods, Amy Wolff Sorter goes beneath the legendary Biblical tale to focus on Deborah, the woman behind the divine myth. Set against the conflicted and violent backdrop of Ancient Israel, the novel details Deborah's torturous road from her birthright as Canaanite priestess to her final destiny as a staunch defender of the Israelites; a female leader in a patriarchal society who, despite her own self doubts, is driven to use her incredible powers to save her people.Wolff Sorter, Amy is the author of 'Servant of the Gods', published 2005 under ISBN 9781592797707 and ISBN 1592797709.
