But the resistance and power of the Canaanites forces Joshua to forge an army out of the former slaves who have wandered in the wilderness for forty years. He soon discovers why God has told him to be strong and courageous, for he must battle not only the military might of the enemy but the frail humanity of his own people. Can he create a nation out of a ragtag group of exiles who have never seen their homeland?From L. M. Roth, author of Deliverance: Moses the Lawgiver Chronicles of Israel Book 1, A Dance in the Desert the Story of Leah, Jacob, and Rachel, and Battleground: Elijah and the War with Jezebel, comes Book 2 of Chronicles of Israel.

Along the way they will meet such unforgettable characters as the crafty Gibeonites, the mysterious Commander of the Lord's Army, and Rahab, the harlot with a heart of gold.
