This is one of those rare stay-up-all-night-to read novels that you cannot put down. Deborah's courage and resolve will live on with you after you turn the last page." Glenna Salsbury, CSP, CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame. "A stunning historical fantasy-an epic journey that no reader could guess. It's nothing like anything I have read. Realistically told and captured the time period perfectly-can be read by teens and adults." Urban Lit Magazine "Deborah Rising powerfully depicts the political, religious, and cultural landscapes of the Jewish people. The themes are as relevant today as they were many years ago -- sexism, misuse of power, effective leadership, and political repression. Azrieli has a powerful gift for plot and character and for making history come alive. A masterpiece!" Manhattan Book Review "Vivid descriptions, intriguing twists-not just drama, but an in-the-moment, you-are-there flair. Anyone who wants a superior, heart-pounding and inspirational read will find Deborah Rising not just a solid representation, but a thoroughly compelling saga that's hard to put down and ends neatly (but open-ended, holding out the hope of more stories). Readers are in for a real treat!" Midwest Book Review. "A perfect read. Riveting!" The US Review of Books "The story of this young woman has moved me emotionally, spiritually, and has inspired me. Highly Intriguing." Hollywood Book Reviews "Azrieli manages to vividly recreate biblical history, myths, fanaticism and sexism-he never condescends in sentimentalizing Deborah, who for all the tragedies she has endured, continues to survive while never losing faith. A seductive saga-peopled with a fascinating array of characters." Bookpleasures "This enthralling story gives the reader an amazing insight into what life was really like for women at a fascinating time in history. I found this book absolutely absorbing and highly recommend it." The English Informer "Azrieli sets down a captivating fictionalized life story for this incredible woman. Believable and engrossing-chronicling the life of one of the Bible's and history's greatest women." Pacific Book Review "Rich description and engaging dialogue bring the story of Deborah to life. Though she lived long ago, her struggles will no doubt resonate with today's readers. The book is a page-turner, there are no lulls. Full of suspenseful adventure!"  Oak Tree Reviews "Deborah is strong, and her story is a compelling one. Azrieli does a masterful job at building up a tale that feels true to history. Realistic and vivid!" San Francisco Book Review.

    Her life becomes a nightmare with a secret so awful that she prays no one will find out.

    Her unabashed faith shines through as she shares details of her life as an adviser to her best friend, Beatrice, and as a voice of reason to her women's Sunday school class, the Willing Workers. The pettiness of the women at the Apostolic Bible Church gets under Esmeralda's skin, but when she rallies them to the side of an impoverished mother with AIDS, the very best of human love and compassion is portrayed.Told in delightfully eccentric first-person narration, this story will inspire, uplift, amuse, and move readers to tears. Despite Esmeralda's lack of education and sophistication-or perhaps because of it-she is used mightily by God and meets everyday challenges with gumption, humor, and grace. Her struggle to maintain her faith in the midst of pain and suffering is a timeless and universal theme with which many will identify, and the love and mercy the story unfolds will delight both young and old.

Agreeing on a new name so they could communicate by letter, Mother gave her a map to an abandoned homestead she knew of. Beth spent the last night on her father's ranch huddled around a campfire in the woods before embarking on a new life.

    Ever since she was a little girl, Journee Carter wanted to be a preacher, just like her father. She loved listening to his sermons and seeing how his fiery words filled the members of the congregation with joy. She wanted to bring that kind of happiness to people. And when she grew up, that's exactly what she set out to do. Journee knew there was opposition to women in the pulpit--especially single young women. Yet she never expected her very own father to be one of her biggest obstacles. But he wouldn't be her only challenge. There were many others who believed she was doing wrong--and were willing to go to great lengths to stop her. Kingston Lavery is charming, handsome, and a member of New Faith Baptist Church--which, to Journee's excitement, has offered her a permanent position. Kingston is pleased to see Journee there as well. He is drawn to her--and not just for spiritual counsel. Although Kingston is engaged, he decides to pursue the pretty pastor anyway--with a good deal of encouragement from a most unlikely source. Soon, Journee finds herself trapped in a web of deception worthy of the devil himself, putting her reputation and her career at risk. All she ever prayed for was that God keep her strong, her father's support, and one day her own family to love. Was it too much to ask? Or is all this mess simply a test of her faith? She's sure of only one thing: she will not hear the answer by turning a deaf ear to the call on her heart...

Heading into “enemy territory", the last thing Kelly expects is to meet a man who leaves her breathless, the first man to turn her head since she lost her husband. A relationship with Will Connor seems totally out of reach, but the handsome young cowboy refuses to let Kelly’s fears keep them from exploring what God might have in store for them.
