Othniel: God's Lion
One man. One calling. One God who never gave up.
When God's people forget His goodness, they fall into the hands of their enemies—not by punishment, but by consequence.
Born a slave, Othniel witnessed miracles in the wilderness and tasted freedom in the Promised Land. Raised under the shadow of his brother Caleb’s great faith, Othniel’s life was shaped by hope, devotion, and a quiet longing for the woman he loves—Aksah, Caleb’s daughter. But when their people turn away from God, Othniel must rise, not only as a warrior, but as Israel’s first judge.
In a time of idol worship, foreign oppression, and deep spiritual confusion, God raises a deliverer—not to punish, but to lead His people back to love.
This inspiring historical fiction reimagines the biblical story of Othniel with heart, passion, and purpose. Perfect for fans of The Chosen, Francine Rivers, and biblical epics, Othniel – God's Lion reminds us that judgment is not abandonment, but the loving discipline of a Father calling His children home.
Step into the fire of faith, and discover the love that roars louder than judgment.

This book makes reading the bible exciting. Kind of like Disney's take on Moses' story when they created the movie "Prince of Egypt," this novel takes the story from the first few chapters of Judges and creates an engaging and exciting story.
I know this series will cover all of the book of Judges, but I hope this author will continue through other books of the Bible, as it has reignited my passion for reading God's word.

Othniel's transformation from a humble slave in the wilderness to a courageous warrior and leader is both captivating and inspiring. His authentic struggle to remain faithful in the face of doubt, oppression, and heartache is a compelling portrayal. Additionally, the love story between Othniel and Aksah adds depth to the novel without overshadowing its themes of faith, obedience, and redemption.
