“Some people seek greatness while others have greatness thrust upon them.”
Quote from Author:
“In Joshua we see a man who passed the test of adversity and a lowly beginning. In his later years, he passed the test of putting his nation above personal comforts, adulation, and legacy that has tripped up others. He walked away from personal power at the height of his success—refusing to become a king or to install a successor—choosing instead to leave the people under God’s direct rule.”
— Dr. Louis McCall
About the Book
Joshua is the story of an underdog—a man who rose from the slave pits of Egypt to become one of history’s most remarkable leaders. Through divine guidance and steadfast faith, Joshua led three million former slaves into the Promised Land of Canaan.
From a 40-year apprenticeship under Moses to his miraculous victories as Israel’s first military Field Marshal, Joshua’s journey illustrates what God can do through a faithful servant. He witnessed miracles of nature and power on par with those of Moses, serving as the intermediary for God’s theocratic governance over Israel.
In his final act, Joshua courageously confronted pagan nations, subdued the progeny of giants, and divided the Promised Land among Israel’s tribes. Before his death, he gathered the nation to remind them of God’s faithfulness, warning that disobedience would bring a curse—but also holding out hope for eventual restoration.
This compelling Biblical historical fiction bridges the worlds of faith and history, revealing a fresh, human perspective on a figure often seen only through legend.
