Commentary During Books God King: A Story in the Days of King Hezekiah

A never-before published tale by the author of the best -selling Hittite Warrior, carries the reader back to Ancient Egypt and biblical Jerusalem. It is 701 B.C - rule of the Kushite dynasty in ancient Egypt. Young Prince Taharka, a very minor royal son, succeeds unexpectedly to the throne of Kush and Egypt - a "divine" rulership. It's not long, however, before a treacherous plot pushes him into sudden exile and into the hands of Amos, an emissary of King Hezekiah seeking help with whom he will fight - the mighty Assyrian, Sennacherib, promising alliance or Hezekiah, the Jew who trusts in Yahweh. A novel inspired by research of the historical King Taharka and period. Includes an introduction with home-education suggestions.

Weigh Up Out Of Books God King: A Story in the Days of King Hezekiah

Another great tale from the author of "Hittite Warrior"! The whole family enjoyed this one! Set around 701 BC, it tells the story of the Assyrians failed attempt to conquer Jerusalem through the eyes of Taharkah, the young pharaoh of Egypt. Taharkah's brother betrays him and usurps the throne, so he flees to Judah with Amos, who is in Egypt as an ambassador of King Hezekiah of Judah. Well written and engaging. We were inspired to do more research on Hezekiah's Tunnel after reading the exciting



God King by Joanne Williamson is about a boy named Taharka who is chosen to be the Pharaoh of Egypt, which he thought felt like being a prisioner. Yet many people believed that his brother Shabataka should have become king, and Taharka has to flee for his life. But he isn't safe, for he then gets caught up with the fight between the Jews and Assyrians. Overall this book wasn't bad. The characters were more or less likable (Shepnuset and Sabi were my favorites). The book was well written. I

I really liked this book! I sat down and read through the whole thing in an hour! I found it pretty exciting, and it kept you interesting through the whole thing.

Interesting, well-written. A few parts that are not for the sensitive child.

I loved this book. I read it with my kiddos in homeschool. It is the story of Taharka, a boy Pharoh by accident and his brother's attempt to dethrone him as the deadly Assiryans are threatening all parts of the region. Amos, a messanger from Judah, comes to solicit the boy Pharoh's assistance just as the trouble begins brewing.We read a chapter a day. Towards the end, it was very difficult for me to "wait" to find out what happened. It's a great book to blend the biblical and historical events

Amazing book. What a great way to get a feel for what was going on in Egypt, Israel and the Middle East during the time of King Hezekiah. I loved how in the end you could look back and see how God used seemingly meaningless events to weave a web. He was in control all along even of the main character who worships the gods of Egypt. Shows a great picture of how God is in control always and puts those in leadership positions that he chooses. I would recommend this book to adults and children
