From Publishers Weekly:
In her Lineage of Grace series, the award-winning Rivers successfully explored the lives of five biblical women. Here, in the first of her Sons of Encouragement series, she turns her attention to the life of Aaron. A jealous Aaron grows up in the shadow of his younger brother Moses. Yet when called to assist Moses in leading the enslaved Israelites to freedom, Aaron finds love for his brother. In the wilderness, disastrous disobedience to God follows, and Aaron must come face-to-face with the knowledge of his own unworthiness and the sins of the Israelites. It would take a bigger miracle than plagues and parting the Red Sea to change the hearts of these people, he realizes. When chosen as high priest, the daily sacrifices Aaron makes torment him, and he dreams of fire and blood. The narrative improves as Rivers convincingly envisions the emotions and intrigue that surely permeated the biblical events.
