The Prophet and the Dove (The Jonah Cycle)

You know the Bible lessons and children's stories, the myths and legends. Now read a historical account of the prophet Jonah, a gripping tale of war, sacrifice, treachery, and love."The Prophet and the Dove," the first novel in The Jonah Cycle, is the fourth book by Kirby Lee Davis. It offers a message of power, mystery, and grace, all from a time little remembered, yet vital to the breadth and scope of our lives. We hear of this epic journey from an elderly witness, a teacher who endured these events while a young fugitive slave: "It seems many lifetimes ago... a dreadful age when time bore no life to speak of, and I, ever stalked by death, considered all talk of the Lord nothing but vicious lies. Much has happened since, more than any man should endure, and yet I have, as was my calling. For I was born to witness the dawn of a new age."But you don't care about that, do you? Thrills, adventure, death! Yes, that's what you came to hear! The knife at my throat! "Oh, I have many such stories to share. Kings I have counseled, and warriors I've led. These hands drove a chariot surrounded by the enemy! These feet strolled the Nile shores! These eyes gazed upon the ruins of Jerusalem!"But all that pales before my witnessing the Jonah Cycle. For who would have dreamt a man could live beyond his death? Certainly not I! But with Jonah, our Lord had a special need, and it changed the world."Come closer now, as I tell the tale. I have little breath left to speak above these Nineveh winds....
