Barbara Britton has created a series of Biblical fiction books that bring life to the story of the Israelite’s journey to the Promised Land. Heavenly Lights tells the story of the fall of the wall of Jericho. Showing her understanding and love of the Old Testament, she stays true to the setting of the time period, creating fictional characters who could well have been there.
