Among the Gods: Book 5 (Paperback)Austin, Lynn N. (Author)
After fleeing King Manasseh's bloody tyrannical reign in Israel, Joshua leads the Jewish priests, Levites, and their families to their new home in exile -- Egypt. There, among the foreign idols and practices, the Israelite remnant annoints Amariah, Manasseh's brother, as king. The exiles begin to build a place for the Ark of the Covenant and attempt to forge a life in the alien country. As the years pass, Joshua struggles continually with his obsession of returning to his homeland, confronting Manasseh and avenging the deaths of his father and grandfather. He also faces the challenge of raising young Nathan, his foster son, whose anger and rebellion leads him to seek out the gods of the Egyptians.
In Judah, King Manasseh becomes deeply involved in pagan Canaanite and Babylonian religions, placing an Asherah pole and other idols in Solomon's temple. He leads the people in rituals of sacrifice and acts of depravation. When Details
