This book is a fascinating blend of historical fact and narrative fiction that weaves a rich tapestry of the life and times of the biblical prophet Isaiah. It begins during the reign of King Uzziah who plays a major part in determining the parents of Isaiah. The mother rejects her baby who is then raised by his father, a court reporter in the palace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsaiah was an unwanted child, a reluctant prophet, who worked during the reigns of four kings. He overcame his hesitation and served for 60 years as a messenger for God, preparing the people of Judah first to survive the invasion of Assyria, then later to prepare for the more serious captivity under Babylon. He wrote many of the beautiful promises we memorize today that continue to comfort God's people as we prepare for the Second Coming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book has it all-drama, jealousy, narrow escapes, pagan worship of idols, wars and enslavement, deception, leprosy, royalty, intrigue, an earthquake, kidnapping, child sacrifice, romance, miracles, the rise and fall of kingdoms-set against a historical backdrop rich in details with unparalleled scope.
