Lord Is My Strength

"Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king." (2 Chronicles 29:1) When his evil father, King Ahaz, plots to sacrifice Hezekiah on the altar of Molech in a perverted attempt to save himself, Hezekiah's mother, Abijah, searches frantically for a way to save him. But only two men, Zechariah & Uriah, neither seemingly trustworthy, can help her. Zechariah totters in a drunken stupor, trying to forget a secret from his past. Uriah, who holds the venerable title "High Priest of God," lusts after power - badly enough that he will gamble with his soul & the lives of others. Two other men, Isaiah & Micah, will speak a message from God that could save the heir to King David's throne & his nation - if heeded. In a time & place engulfed by violence, treachery, & infidelity to Yahweh, Abijah & her son must discover the one true Source of strength if they are to save themselves & their country. THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH is the story of King Hezekiah, the two women who love him, & the men who will help shape his life & faith.
