The Old Testament comes to thrilling life in the latest from Lynn Austin. In one life-changing moment in time, the lives of the Jewish exiles in Babylon are thrown into distress and despair whenever a decree arrives from the king's palace in Susa. It calls for the annihilation of every Jewish man, woman, and child throughout the empire on the 13th day of Adar, in under one year. Ezra, a calm Jewish scholar and instructor, is abruptly called upon to lead the city as they seek God for grounds because of this catastrophe. When a second decree arrives, authorizing those to fight, Ezra is thrust in to the role of armed service leader as they defend themselves against their foes. When the fights come to a finish, Ezra's brother Jude is useless and Ezra is necessary by the Law he so diligently studies to marry Jude's widow, Devorah, and provide an heir. Fatherhood changes Ezra, and he asks God to produce a method for him and the other exiles to leave Babylon once and for all and go back to Jerusalem. His prayers are responded and the exiles move to Judea to revitalize worship at the temple - however the fight to keep God's Legislation is never easy. As increasingly more of his community are lured, a new battle emerges...this one for the survival of God's covenant and the souls of His chosen faithful.
