The curtain rises in the sixth century B.C. at a time when, from all outward appearances, the Jewish people had reason to be confident about their future. Little did they expect that some of the choices they had made over the centuries would severely alter the course of their history-and ultimately lead to a precipitous downfall at the hands of the most powerful empire in the Eastern world. From that time onward, Israel, My Beloved, takes you on an unforgettable journey through the long night of Jewish despair. So intense is the human drama that you become like an eyewitness recoiling at the desecration wrought by Grecian and Roman rulers, fleeing from the blood thirsty swords of the Crusaders, outwitting the determined proponents of the Third Reich's "final solution" and more. History comes vibrantly alive through the characters from the beautiful yet strong-willed Sarah to the endearing couple Enoch and Rebecca to the courageous and devoted Samuel. Through these characters and more you will walk in the shoes of a people who have known the deepest of suffering and injustice as well as the greatest of promise and hope in a way that few have ever experienced. A story with a powerful message that will take you through God's history as no other book has!
