A King Rises

De: Juan Marcos Bejarano Gutierrez

Narrado por: Patrick Michaels

This story tells the tale of a boy with an Israelite father and a Canaanite mother. A young boy is caught between two worlds during the time of Samuel the Seer.

In the first volume, he is captured by the Sea Peoples during a battle; he is enslaved and taken to the Philistine stronghold of Gath where he meets two young girls who will shape his future. All the while, he remembers his friend, a beautiful Canaanite girl, and wonders whether he will ever see her or his parents again.

The journey continues in this volume as the young warrior is confronted with the challenge of facing evil scavengers, choosing the first king of Israel, and deciding between his feelings for a beautiful Canaanite girl and a young Israelite woman who loves him deeply.
