This week’s book giveaway is for the inspirational historical book Pharaoh’s Daughter by Mesu Andrews.
What is this book about?
Anippe has grown up in the shadows of Egypt’s good god Pharaoh, aware that Anubis, god of the afterlife, may take her or her siblings at any moment. She watched him snatch her mother and infant brother during childbirth, a moment that awakened in her a terrible dread of ever bearing a child. Now she is to become the bride of Sebak, the kind but quick-tempered captain of Pharaoh Tut’s army. In order to provide Sebak the heir he deserves and yet protect herself from the underworld gods, Anippe must launch a series of deceptions, even involving the Hebrew midwives — women ordered by Tut to drown the sons of their own people in the Nile.
When she finds a baby floating in a basket on the great river, Anippe believes Egypt’s gods have answered her pleas, entrenching her more deeply in deception and placing her and her son, Mehy, whom handmaiden Miriam calls Moses, in mortal danger.
As bloodshed and savage politics shift the balance of power in Egypt, the gods reveal their fickle natures and Anippe wonders if her son, a boy of Hebrew blood, could one day become king. Or does the god of her Hebrew servants, the one they call El Shaddai, have a different path for them all?

I’m afraid of Death, Spiders and losing what I already have.
Thanks for the chance
You’re welcome Linda. Thanks for commenting. 🙂
Until recently I was afraid of not being enough in the Lords eyes. Now I know differently.
But I am still afraid that I will let the Lord down too often.
This is a daily struggle for me.
Oh wow, this sounds wonderful. There is so much about Moses but not his Egyptian mother. I would love to read this. Thank you for the chance.

Spiders, fires, anything ever happening to my children are some of mine. There are so many fears one can have, but I just have faith in God!
It is so important to have that faith, isn’t it Laura? I don’t know where I would be without mine. 🙂 Thanks for commenting.
