Moses has always felt like an outsider in his powerful Egyptian family, even though his close relationship with Ramses, the prince of Egypt, and their cousin Pentu keeps him entwined in the dealings of royalty. But when their youthful antics get them in trouble, the Pharaoh decides it’s time for all three of them to grow up and own their respective responsibilities. Now betrothed to a woman he cares nothing for, Moses wonders where his life is headed.

Miriam, a Hebrew slave, lives with a secret she cannot share with anyone. And though it has been eighteen years since she saved her baby brother, she is constantly getting in trouble for spying on him. In a desperate attempt to control Miriam, her older brother, Aaron, and her father look to find her a husband, something Miriam has never been interested in—until Caleb, a young, handsome man, confesses his feelings for her and asks her father for her hand in marriage.

When Libya advances on Egypt, Moses and Miriam are suddenly thrown together as the Egyptian royals and soldiers flee. Hebrew slaves are forced to defend the kingdom, and Miriam and Caleb are enlisted under Moses’s direction. Moses quickly sees there is more to this downtrodden people than what he’s been taught. When he witnesses the atrocities enacted against the slaves, he realizes he must leave—he must find out who he really is.

    This book was soooooo Amazing!!!!!!!! I have always loved this bible story anyways, but Heather Moore really breathed life and a new spice to this story. Even though I know what is going to happen, essentially… this book kept me guessing and there were surprises at every turn. I would highly recommend this book to any and everyone. Heather Moore has worked her magic once again.

  2. This first novel in The Moses Chronicles is both enjoyable and enlightening as it brings to life the biblical story of Moses, as well as his sister, Miriam. The story switches point of view between several of the characters, giving the novel a fun twist. These characters’ challenges are easy for readers to relate to his/her own life. I would recommend this novel to readers that enjoy biblical fiction novels written in various character perspectives.

  3. Amazing, epic, seriously can’t wait for the next book in the series! I’m not often in the mood for Biblical fiction but I’m so, so glad I chose to read this one! Heather B. Moore never disappoints. This is the story of Miriam, Moses’ sister, and her life as a Hebrew slave, daughter, and sister. She is headstrong but fiercely loyal, and attracts the interest of Caleb, who wants to protect her but doesn’t understand why she continues to put herself in danger by watching the Egyptian royals (Moses and his friends). The story is also told from the perspective of Moses and his Egyptian mother which offers fascinating insights into his life in the Egyptian court, his compassion for the Hebrews, and the strength of the princess who raised him. The characters and setting are so well-written that I could easily envision the story in my mind and I couldn’t put it down (words like intense and gripping apply here). There is action, drama, intrigue, romance, and while the ending of the book nicely wraps up Miriam’s adventures, it’s only just beginning for Moses…
