Building Benjamin: Naomi's Journey

By Barbara M. Britton

Book Overview

Can Naomi abandon the shepherd who has captured her body and stolen her heart?

To maintain her family's honor, Naomi strives to dance well enough to catch the eye of a wealthy landowner. Her father needs a substantial bride price, because her brothers died at the hands of the tribe of Benjamin. But when Benjamites raid the Ephraimite feast and capture young girls, Naomi is bound and carried from her home by Eliab, a troubled shepherd who needs a wife.

As Naomi awaits rescue, she finds Eliab has a strong faith in God and a just reason for abducting her. His reason affects all the tribes of Israel. The future of the tribe of Benjamin hangs in the balance, but if Naomi follows her heart and stays with Eliab to rebuild his lineage, she must forfeit her family and become a traitor to her own tribe.

For readers of Christian historical fiction who enjoy strong female characters, themes of faith, love, and redemption, and stories set in biblical times.
