What if you could climb into Mesu Andrews' mind while she plotted a biblical novel? You would see her research and imagination on each character's backstory. Have you ever read one of her books and wished you knew more about a character's motivation? Or more personal history that led to the characters' emotional reactions? Prophets & Kings: Prequel Collection was written to answer those questions. His Unfathomable Plan attests to God's absolute goodness and sovereignty over even the most painful events of our lives. Before Aya becomes Isaiah's prophetess wife, she cares for a little girl, Abijah, who young Prince Ahaz later agrees to marry. You'll also meet the young prophet, Micah, whose little sister, Yaira, steals your heart in Isaiah's Daughter (Waterbrook, 2018). Adnah's Legacy proves even the wickedest villain could have once been capable of love. Meet Shebna as an innocent boy, living with his father and beloved brother, Haruz. Both brothers fall in love with the household servant girl, Adnah. Later, in Isaiah's Legacy (Waterbrook, 2019), Adnah's daughter becomes the Queen of Judah. But in the prequel, you'll discover how Shebna and his brothers' broken hearts formed them very differently. Of Heroes and Kings illustrates that only the greatest kings realize Yahweh creates true heroes. In this prequel to Of Fire and Lions (Waterbrook, 2019), meet Prince Nebuchadnezzar and his soon-to-be wife, Princess Amyitis. Discover why Daniel and his parents' lives are about to collide with Nebuchadnezzar when King Josiah involves Judah in a senseless war, and the centuries-old Assyrian Empire succumbs to the new world power-Babylon.
