Keepers of the Covenant

In Lynn Austin's gripping retelling of the Old Testament, the Jewish exiles in Babylon face despair when a royal decree threatens their annihilation. Ezra, a reserved scholar, unexpectedly takes on the mantle of leader, guiding his community through battles for survival and faith. As challenges mount, including the loss of family and the complexities of new responsibilities, Ezra fervently prays for a chance to return to Jerusalem, only to face new struggles that test the resilience of God's covenant and His people.
