The Lamb
Ebook
Overview
A missing bridegroom, a runaway temple prostitute, and a strange call from the prophet Elijah interrupt the routine lives of a small Hebrew family struggling to survive in a drought-ridden village near Samaria. Amidst the chaos, a lamb is born. As Hannah and her family navigate through heartache, guilt, and resentment, encounters with the lamb challenge perspectives and bring about healing and redemption.
“Set during Elijah’s lifetime in the Old Testament, this book
reveals the core of gospel truth. Nathaniel and his lamb, Shalom,
remind me of Jody and his deer, Flag, in The Yearling. But
the maturation of Nathaniel simultaneously involves both the
heartbreaking realization that human wrong always causes suffering
and also costs sacrificial love. The interwoven plot holds our
attention because we care about each character introduced and long
for justice ‘in the land of the living.’ While we experience the
latter, this is not a sentimental story. It looks at darkest
reality found in a form of worship that involves sexual abuse. . .
. A father will try to force his daughter to marry a man she does
not trust. A fearful, pregnant runaway withholds a secret. And fire
will fall from heaven.”
—Patricia S. Cook
“Gina Jobe has written a moving story with enjoyable twists and
turns. But most importantly, The Lamb shows the power of sin
while demonstrating that grace is more powerful still.”
—Andy McGuire, author and illustrator
