Witness, tells an old story told a new way. The events Rivkah witnessed changed history. As a young shepherd girl, she accompanied her father to a Bethlehem stable where she held the baby Jesus. She watched Mary and Joseph flee to Egypt, met the strange visitors from the East who’d followed a star, and watched Herod’s soldiers kill the children of her village. Experience life in Roman Judea: the Jewish people struggle under the burden of Caesar's armies and Herod's cruelty. Watch false Messiahs rise and fall and see the fatal retribution that followed. Divided by fate, united by love, the two young people grow to separate adulthood, each with their dreams and desires unfulfilled, while the world of Rome and conquest moves inexorably on. Yet slavery and rebellions can't destroy the love between Rivkah and Shemu'el, the man she believed God destined for her. Witness it all through the eyes of one who lived it.

Designed to entertain, educate and inspire any reader interested in historic settings of ancient Judaism, the Roman Empire and Early Christianity. Will make the people and events of the Bible real in unimagined ways. Biblically and historically accurate in all details....includes Author's research notes.
