Treacherous Waters: Zahla’s Story

Treacherous Waters: Zahla’s Story - is book seven in the Mysteries & Wonders of the Bible fiction series.

Determined to keep the Hebrews enslaved, the king of Egypt devises his most dreadful edict yet. He commands that the Hebrew midwives are to kill all newborn boys. Zahla cannot help but fear for her dear cousin, Puah, who works as a Hebrew midwife. Especially when Puah refuses to obey Pharoah’s appalling order.

Zahla soon realizes she must act herself. She finds help from a most unexpected ally: an Egyptian guard named Merin. Together, they organize an intricate network to save as many children as they can. Zahla knows that one day God will come to their aid and free them from Pharaoh...but she, Merin, and her family will have to survive first.

Mysteries, wonders, and secrets. The Bible is filled with glimpses of the divine and unknowable. Within its pages are tantalizing clues and fascinating hints about events, objects, places, and people whose stories have never been explored...until now. Each book in this series brings to life in vivid and Scripture-based detail an ancient witness to one of God’s most intriguing mysteries. Through their challenges, tests, and tribulations, you’ll experience the power of faith that transcends time and wraps them--and you--in God’s perfect love.
