God King by Joanne Williamson

God King—A Story in the Days of King Hezekiah

By Joanne Williamson
Level 7
Review:

Author Joanne Williamson skillfully brings history alive in this book, which takes place in ancient Egypt and Biblical Jerusalem when teenage Prince Taharka unexpectedly becomes ruler of Egypt and Ethiopia. My son read this book when he was 13 and really enjoyed it. The book is published by the Christian publisher Bethlehem Books and does not contain any objectionable material or language.
