Devorah Back Cover

The Story the Bible Couldn’t Tell

175 years after Moses led the Children of Israel out of Egypt, Devorah, a prophet, became the first and only female Judge to rule ancient Israel.

Surrounded by pagan Canaanites practicing ritual sex and human sacrifice, Devorah must find ways to maintain the Hebrews’ belief in the One God and overcome the Canaanites’ overwhelming military supremacy.

Devorah walks a tightrope between her personal view of the One God as a present, loving force and the prevailing view of God as a distant, punishing power. She calls the fearsome God of the temple and formal worship, the God of the Scrolls; and the benign, loving and accessible God, the God of the Covenant.

Devorah’s story is the first in Steve Liebowitz’ The Covenant and The Scrolls series of novels based on these differing views of God and their influence on the lives of Kings Saul, David, Solomon and other Old Testament characters.

 

Steve Liebowitz’ interest in non-traditional ways of understanding the Bible, began under fire during the first TET Offensive in Vietnam in 1968.  In Devorah he shares the idea that God is much more than we think He is. This awareness sustained Steve in the defense of his doctoral dissertation in l990, and continues to support his Business Coaching and Management Consulting practice today.  In addition to his PH.D, Dr. Liebowitz holds two Masters Degrees. He is currently Commander of JWV Post 243 in Coral Gables. Not only has Dr Steve researched these ideas, he’s lived them.
