About the Book Book:   Balaam’s Curse Author:  C.L. Smith Genre:   Biblical fiction Release Date:  2016 Unfathomable evil grips the ancient homeland of the Children of Israel. When Yahweh, Most High God, led his people out of slavery in Egypt to confront it, they failed miserably and spent the next forty years wandering homeless in the desert. Now they are ready to try again. But before they can cross the Jordan River to enter the Promised Land, the prophet Balaam is summoned from Babylon to stop them. Joining forces with supernatural powers, he unleashes a plot so twisted that the name of Balaam is used as a synonym for seductive evil a thousand years later in the Book of Revelation . Aided by the ruthlessly ambitious Princess Cozbi, the prophet gathers a coalition of five Midianite kings who will stop at nothing to defeat Israel and prevent a crossing that will change the world. Balaam’s Curse , Book One of The Stones of Gilgal , is an epic telling of the resulting dece

Update: Trusting God and Reading Books During the Mass Panic

I had just recently heard of it and my creating writing professor had us read a little section of it and I was immediately fascinated with it. I am so excited to crack it open and continue reading! I think reading and writing is what is going to get me through this global crisis. Waubonsee Community College where I attend has officially closed and will be doing classes all online,
