She said the victory would be in the hands of a woman. A woman would kill the enemy. All because one man refused to go to battle alone.

Jill Eileen Smith closely follows the Biblical  narrative and brings alive the story of Israel’s most powerful woman, Deborah –the prophetess. The characters come alive through her imaginative storytelling, filling in the gaps between Scripture and what may have occurred. 

The Israelites live in fear as Sisera seeks to capture, torture, and kill them. They cry out to God for their salvation but He remains silent as some turn to other gods instead. Deborah is the judge and prophetess, calling the people to repentance and leading them out of oppression.

From the moment I read the first paragraph of The Prophetess, I was hooked. Jill Eileen Smith imaginatively weaves the story of Deborah, the Prophetess, into an intriguing and inspiring novel that I couldn’t put down!

This was my first book of Smith’s and it is phenomenal! If you love historical fiction, you’ll love Jill’s newest book, The Prophetess. You can pick up your copy on Amazon or your local bookstore.
