Prince Of The Nile

Prince Of The Nile

Prince Of The Nile

 
This novel about the life of Moses is unlike any other. It ends where most stories about him begin—at the burning bush! Born a slave, but destined to rule over Egypt, the Prince of the Nile must face a destiny for which he is unprepared.

In these vivid pages, we see the drama and mysteries of Moses’ life in a new light—his rescue in infancy and adoption by Princess Hatshepsut, and his transformation in the crucible of the desert. Moses is perhaps the most commanding presence in the Old Testament. The novel also features his adopted mother—Princess Hatshepsut—simply referred to in holy writings as ‘Pharaoh’s daughter’. Married to Thutmose ll, she begins her rise to power as co-regent with her stepson, Thutmose lll. When her husband dies, Hatshepsut declares herself Pharaoh and assumes power. She is determined to remind all Egypt of her ability to rule equal to any man. To make her point she wears a fake goatee, flattens her chest and names her daughter queen. Hatshepsut guides the young Moses as he learns his responsibilities as Prince and her choice for the succession. Educated at the fi nest academies in Awen, Egypt (the ancient city of On), he then helps her lead Pharaoh’s army into the land of Punt and subdues the mighty nation, rich in gold and spices.

The author brings his historical knowledge and keen imagination to one of the most compelling stories of the Bible, and the results are fascinating. A figure of mystery, compassion and contradiction, Moses emerges in this book very much a hero for our time.

When he meets Pharaoh’s butler and baker, his life begins to change, and he is released and enters a whole new world in which dreams do come true. Through his divine gift, Joseph interprets Pharaoh’s dreams and reveals a plan to save Egypt from the troubled years Joseph sees coming. Rewarded by Pharaoh, Joseph’s dreams as a teenager come true. He is given a new name, and the position of Vizier, making him the second most powerful man in the land. People will bow before him as he predicted. Love enters Joseph’s life when Lady Asenath, beautiful daughter of the high priest of Awen, is given to him as his wife. She feels this Asiatic from the north country is beneath her, and Joseph must use all of his gifts to win her affection and love. Based upon research, the author paints a compelling panorama of Egyptian society, and draws us into Joseph’s world. The ancient story has much to teach us today about faith and forgiveness, and perhaps how to live in a world that threatens to overpower our attempts to live above it.
