Overview

Miriam is the second biblical novel in the series Biblical Women Who Led the Way. It follows Junia: Woman Apostle--Only a Girl, published in 2013. Most people are familiar with Miriam, the prophetess of the Old Testament. She is doubtless best known as the sister of Moses. But there is much more to her story. The 24 verses about her in the Bible reveal some surprising facts about this amazing woman. Micah 6:4 states that Miriam along with her brothers, Moses and Aaron, are those God appointed to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. In addition to biblical references, rabbinical writing and Jewish folk literature are replete with fascinating stories about her. For example, several references say that Miriam as a young child reprimanded the pharaoh for having all the Hebrew boy babies killed. That is the way her story begins in this novel, which is based on careful research of the Bible, historical writings and stories that have been handed down through the ages. It ends with Miriam leading the women in triumphant praise and exaltation after the Israelites successfully cross the Red Sea. Her story demonstrates how God chose and equipped women to be leaders in biblical days even as He continues to do today.
