About Gideon: The Sound And The Glory

Product Description Why has the true story of Gideon been hidden for three millennia? How does Gideon connect with Jacob wrestling an angel how did a blood feud between the killing of Gideon's brothers and the Midianite kings evolve? How does the prophetess Debra establish the lighting of the two Shabbat candles? How Gideon's three hundred represent the trinity. Why was Gideon not in the major Midianite battle. How did three hundred starving men conquer fifteen thousand in a night battle? Why Gideon is a similitude of the coming of Jesus as a spiritual warrior. How does Abimelech his half Canaanite son become the first king of Israel and Canaan? Why Eli wore the two crowns of the high priest and judge at the tabernacle in Shiloh? Why the mice were in the Philistine cart that transported the Ark of the covenant back to Israel. What was David doing at the battle with Goliath? Why did David have five stones in his script? Why is this the first time that an accurate depiction of Gideon's mysterious ephod of Gold has come to light? And much much more. Besides being entertaining, the novel is a spiritual delight to the pilgrim, searching for the mind of God. Unsung heroes and murderous villains, hidden forever in ancient shadows, now leap to life - blazing onto the pages of revelation. Gideon, a lowly woodcutter, is blessed by an angel to be the savior of all Israel. He does not know why or how and shrinks from this dangerous mission. The commandment to conquer the Midian Empire as one man seems all but impossible. But Gideon's confidence grows as God guides his every step until he stands fearless and faithfully fulfills his destiny as, "A mighty man of valor." The fierce warriors, burning towers, and devastated cities contained in Gideon's Journey are but silver threads that weave into a sweeping tapestry of ancient intrigue. Running through and stitching together the entire saga is The Lord of the Covenant, or The Baal-Berith, also known as Gideon's mysterious Ephod of Gold. The Canaanite age of iron finds a simple woodsman lost in the forest of fear and doubt; challenging Ba'al, the Amorite god, to rescue his one true love, and grows into a mighty man of valor conquering the Midian Empire. Review Small PressBookwatch: April 2017 James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief Midwest Book Review 278 Orchard Drive, Oregon, WI 53575   The Fiction Shelf   Gideon: The Sound and the Glory Joseph Ganci Privately Published    Critique: A truly riveting, consistently entertaining, and deftly crafted read from beginning to end, "Gideon: The Sound and the Glory" reveals Joseph Ganci as a master of the biblically-based historical fiction genre. This is one of those rare novels that will linger in mind and memory long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf. While very highly recommended, especially for community library collections.     GIDEON: THE SOUND AND THE GLORY by Joseph Ganci May 8, 2017 / in Fiction, Historical Fiction, Indie Book Reviews, IR Approved  / by IR Staff Verdict: In GIDEON: THE SOUND AND THE GLORY, Joseph Ganci effectively transports the reader back to the Old Testament era, where violence of the most extreme sort by the Israelites was sanctified by God.     4.0 Joseph Ganci's novel takes on the character of the reluctant and self-deprecating warrior Gideon who, as instructed by Yahweh, freed the ungrateful, idol-worshipping Israelites from their seven-year servitude to the Midian Empire. Rejecting their offer to be their king, Gideon instead presided over the Israelites as a judge.  Upon his death, however, the Israelites proved themselves unworthy again as they returned to idol worship. One of the reasons even secularists prefer the New Testament to the Old was the former's gentle, non-violent message (Thomas Jefferson, an atheist, cut out the sections of the Bible dealing with such themes and stuck them on his wall).  "Turn the other cheek" is the phrase that sums up the New Testame
