Sweet Gift from Heaven: Rana’s Story

Sweet Gift from Heaven: Rana’s Story - is book ten in the Mysteries & Wonders of the Bible fiction series.

Rana has only survived the streets of Egypt by becoming a very good thief. But eventually her special skill set gets her into trouble with the Medjay, the Pharoah’s police force. Desperate to escape, she stows away in a moving caravan. But it is not until she is far from the city that she realizes she has thrown in her lot with the Hebrews, who are leaving slavery and following their leader, Moses, into the Promised Land.

As Rana travels, she learns there is more in the wilderness than she could have imagined. She witnesses the miraculous parting of the Red Sea and makes some new friends willing to teach her about the One True God. But just as Rana starts to believe she has found a place to belong, she encounters Pharoah’s spies, who are ordered to bring the Hebrews back to Egypt. Rana must make a choice.

Will she allow their threats to turn her into a thief again? Or can she stand firm in her new convictions and still protect her new friends from harm?
