About this ebook

The complete biblical historical fiction compilation by the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and A Voice in the Wind.

The Bible is filled with inspiring stories of unlikely candidates God chose to quietly change eternity. This bestselling compilation in one volume contains five novellas about such people—men who stood behind heroes of the faith. Aaron. Caleb. Jonathan. Amos. Silas.

Each faithfully sought God in the shadows of His chosen leaders. They answered God’s call to serve without recognition or fame. And they gave everything, knowing their reward might not come until the next life. Be challenged by these faithful men whose stories we must never forget.

Aaron—the priest who stood in Moses’ shadow but had the courage to cover his brother’s fears.
Caleb—the warrior whose words stirred men’s hearts and brought God’s people to the Promised Land.
Jonathan—the prince whose humility led him to befriend the man who would become king in his place.
Amos—the prophet who heard when God called and spoke to a nation unwilling to listen.
Silas—the scribe who surrendered his wealth to record God’s Word, even as those around him were silenced.

Each novella includes an in-depth Bible study perfect for personal reflection or group discussion.

Ratings and reviews

I make it a point to read all of Francine Rivers' novels. (I haven't read them all, but I have read most of them.) My first was "Redeeming Love". Nothing beat this and that's okay. I had felt it was a beautiful metaphor that kind of sums up the love story between Israel and her King. "The Last Sin Eater" was the only book of her's that I wasn't a big fan of. I believe she had a movie made of this one 🤔 YET, it is the first and only book that I've read from front to back that I didnt want to read. She has a way with words... I am a big fan. HUGE. She's my favorite.

It was very unique in what each of the five men did. I enjoyed knowing God is always with us He will never leave us or forsake us.

Francine Rivers is the best writer ever. Thank you for each book you wrote and shared with us.
