The Anointed One
Book II: Trilogy of Kings Saga

Picture

A nation on the brink of war. A people divided.
​


Saul ben Kish is an ordinary man—until he crosses paths with the prophet Samuel. Anointed by God to lead His people, this lowly Benjaminite shall soon be tested. What begins as a search for his father’s wayward donkeys becomes a call to courage, and obedience.

A son will stand against an army. A shepherd will face a giant. And a people will look for one to lead them. Yet who can stand under the burden of prosperity?
​

An epic tale of kingship; a journey into the heart of the Judean Mountains and across the sun-baked desert where the meek rise and the proud fall, and a stone is mightier than the sword.


A time is coming, a day of reckoning.
​Clever and credible
— ​Judith Ingram​
​The power of the book rests in the steady but sure slide of Saul into madness.
— Barbara
