Description
How could Joshua possibly hope to take on the mantle of leading the nation of Israel, walking in the footsteps of Moses, the remarkable man of God who he had served for forty years? It seemed like an impossible task. In the third and final book of The Wilderness Series, Joshua is aided by Yahweh’s celestial messengers, the ‘shining men’, as he leads his people into Canaan to possess their promised land. This extraordinary warrior leader would see the sun stand still at his command and watch the mighty walls of Jericho fall. However, his greatest adversary would not be a Canaanite warrior, but a harlot named Rahab who would capture his heart and turn his world upside down. The Shining Men by Nicky Heymans is the exciting conclusion to the inspiring religious fiction series about the courage, humility and devotion of the military hero, Joshua ben Nun, as he completes his life-long mission and finds his place of eternal rest. For lovers of historical fiction and Christian fiction books, this final instalment will leave you inspired as the story comes to an end. ' Through every trial and ordeal, Nicky brilliantly portrays Joshua bearing his leadership burdens until the day when he receives the final reward for his faithfulness. As you travel with him on this last instalment of his heroic journey, you will be inspired and moved in equal measure by his dedication.' Mark Stibbe, Award-winning author of A Book in Time
