She was a judge. A prophet. A warrior. And history almost forgot her. In 1250 B.C., Israel had endured twenty years of crushing oppression. Out of the silence, one woman rose - not through bloodline, not through inheritance, but by the direct hand of God. Her name was Deborah. And she was unlike anyone who came before her. Of all the judges recorded in the Old Testament, Deborah stands completely alone. She was the only female judge. The only judge who held court and commanded an army. The only judge who was also a prophetess. In many ways, she was the female counterpart to Moses - and yet her full story has never been told. Until now.The Book of Wars: Legend of the Prophetess is a meticulously researched, award-winning work of biblical historical fiction that brings Deborah to life with cinematic depth and spiritual power.
