CHRONICLES OF THE KINGS—Book 4
My Father ’s God
From their earliest years, King Manasseh (son of King Hezekiah) and his friend Joshua (son of Hezekiah’s palace administrator, Eliakim) are raised together and nurtured in the faith of their godly fathers. But in My Father’s God anger toward God begins to smolder in Manasseh’s heart after his father’s unexpected death, and the young king begins to fear that he will never live up to Hezekiah’s powerful legacy. Manasseh’s insecurity makes him easy prey for the false prophet, Zerah, who promises that sorcery and divination can chart the course of Manasseh’s future.
As Manasseh and Joshua take sides, the battle lines are drawn. Joshua narrowly escapes Manasseh’s soldiers, leaving behind his life of privilege. He helps his family flee from Jerusalem but not before Manasseh kidnaps his sister who is forced to become the king’s concubine. Unable to understand why his boyhood friend has turned against him, why God allowed his father to be murdered, and why he must stand alone in the face of such opposition, Joshua comes perilously close to losing his faith.
