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 from both the Old Testament and the New Testament whose stories we must never forget.

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.
