new role, the way of life in Israel is on the horizon of a great change. Lines

Publisher's Description of Priest: Book One - Tale of Benaiah
The nation of Israel is being torn apart from both within and without.
King Saul has been rejected and rumors grow that a young shepherd boy
has been anointed to take his place. Benaiah is a young priest
who only desires to serve his king. But as tensions rise Benaiah is
faced with a difficult choice: Will he remain with Saul, or will he
become an outlaw by joining with David?
Follow the heroic narrative of Benaiah, the up-and-coming
priest-turned-warrior-of-God, as he is faced with an unthinkable decision of
loyalty. This 3-part tale is a fictional telling of real biblical characters in
the David storyline found in Scripture. Priest covers the
beginning of Benaiah’s coming of age and his learning to lean on the
understanding of God to guide his decisions and heart. In this story, he is
faced with choosing between his loyalty to the current king and the one who has
just received God’s anointing. Warrior picks up
Benaiah’s story as David officially takes the throne and battles rage throughout
the land of Israel. King David leans on Benaiah as his warrior. Book 3, General,
will pick up as the throne of Israel is passed to Solomon, as in the biblical
story. Book 3 will be coming soon! This is a Christian fiction series
parents can also enjoy alongside their middle/high school readers. ~Rebecca
