The Prophecy and the Hope: Redemption Tales, Book 2

By Marty Machowski | Illustrated by Blair Files

Travel through the Old Testament from an utterly fresh perspective—through the eyes of the animals who may have been there. In The Prophecy and the Hope, Marty Machowski’s uniquely crafted stories place readers alongside oxen at the Red Sea, mountain goats on Mount Sinai, Rahab’s pets in Jericho, Goliath’s horses, Queen of Sheba’s camels, ravens with Elijah, and even mice tucked inside Isaiah’s house.

With wonder and faith, these animals witness pivotal biblical events and learn prophetic truths about God’s rescue plan in Jesus.
