Gideon

God's Scythe

A farmer hiding in fear. A people crushed by enemies. A God who calls the unlikely to lead.

Judged in Love: Gideon’s Scythe is a powerful biblical fiction novel inspired by the book of Judges. When Israel turns from Jehovah and suffers under Midianite oppression, God raises up Gideon—a man who sees himself as weak, yet is chosen to become a mighty warrior.

In this faith-based retelling, readers will step into the ancient world of Israel and experience Gideon’s journey from doubt to courage. From tearing down idols to leading a small band of warriors against overwhelming odds, Gideon learns that God’s judgment is not wrath, but love—calling His people back to covenant.

Fans of biblical novels, Christian historical fiction, and inspirational retellings like Francine Rivers’ Lineage of Grace or Angela Hunt’s Dangerous Beauty will be swept into this vivid and emotional story of faith, family, and the relentless love of God.

If you enjoy Christian fiction with biblical accuracy, historical depth, and heart-stirring themes, you’ll love this unforgettable story of Gideon.
