Keepers of the Covenant

Where would hope be found?

In one life-changing moment an entire people are thrown into utter despair as a decree is handed down that every man, woman and child were to be killed on a specific day. Where would they find hope to overcome this death sentence?

Lynn Austin gives a glimpse into the possible psyche of these people during the time when they were captive in Babylon during the time of the Persians. Her retelling brings to life the Old Testament and made me think and examine those stories in a different way.
