FIVE STAR REVIEWS!IF YOU LOVED THE BOOKS "MARK OF THE LION" SERIES by FRANCINE RIVERS, "A.D. 30 AND A.D. 33" by TED DEKKER, YOU WILL LOVE THIS NOVEL!In the year 2216 BC, mankind's dispersal by language groups creates conflicts with neighboring tribes along with ruthless conquerors as they leave the city of Babel.

As the seeds of an uprising spread throughout the most powerful regime in the ancient world, a small band of insurrectionists pit their trust in God against the principalities of darkness.
And the demise of the depraved king lies solely on Shoshana's survival...
The king stomped on Kaleb's wrist forcing his fingers open. The sound of the dagger clattering to the floor echoed. A chill ran through him at the mad laugh erupting from Nimrod. "Now you see the power of Marduk!" The king raised his long dagger to a position that Kaleb knew would sever his head from his body. And he hadn't the strength to stop it. "Creator God, protect Shoshana."
A tale of survival and sacrifice, love and honor. Dare to journey into ancient Babylonia...

MANY RESEARCH BOOKS were used to bring accuracy to this historical novel of ancient times including, Tower of Babel by Bodie Hodge and Buried Alive by Jack Cuozzo (they conducted original research). And though parts of this novel may have the feel of a fantasy book, we must remember that both God and the principalities of darkness operate with supernaturally (1Corth 1:25; Mark 5:3-5). An excellent tool for home schoolers.
