Explanation In Pursuance Of Books God King: A Story in the Days of King Hezekiah

A never-before published tale by the author of the best -selling Hittite Warrior, carries the reader back to Ancient Egypt and biblical Jerusalem. It is 701 B.C - rule of the Kushite dynasty in ancient Egypt. Young Prince Taharka, a very minor royal son, succeeds unexpectedly to the throne of Kush and Egypt - a "divine" rulership. It's not long, however, before a treacherous plot pushes him into sudden exile and into the hands of Amos, an emissary of King Hezekiah seeking help with whom he will fight - the mighty Assyrian, Sennacherib, promising alliance or Hezekiah, the Jew who trusts in Yahweh. A novel inspired by research of the historical King Taharka and period. Includes an introduction with home-education suggestions.

Judge Appertaining To Books God King: A Story in the Days of King Hezekiah

I read the book God King by. Joanne Williamson because it was part of my history curriculum. I liked this book because it start out very interesting. My favorite part of this book was when the people started shouting, "we want a king, we want a king." And they started following God. This was favorite book but I liked it. Some were boring. If you are studying ancient history this book is a great addition to your studies.

I loved this book. I read it with my kiddos in homeschool. It is the story of Taharka, a boy Pharoh by accident and his brother's attempt to dethrone him as the deadly Assiryans are threatening all parts of the region. Amos, a messanger from Judah, comes to solicit the boy Pharoh's assistance just as the trouble begins brewing.We read a chapter a day. Towards the end, it was very difficult for me to "wait" to find out what happened. It's a great book to blend the biblical and historical events

Amazing book. What a great way to get a feel for what was going on in Egypt, Israel and the Middle East during the time of King Hezekiah. I loved how in the end you could look back and see how God used seemingly meaningless events to weave a web. He was in control all along even of the main character who worships the gods of Egypt. Shows a great picture of how God is in control always and puts those in leadership positions that he chooses. I would recommend this book to adults and children

It dragged on for a while, and told you useless information.

Interesting, well-written. A few parts that are not for the sensitive child.

I would give this 4 1/2 stars because it made some of the ancient civilizations discussed in the Bible come alive. I will now read about the Assyrians and the Egyptians/Ethiopians with interest while reading scriptures.
