is the sequel to In the Shadow of Sinai, but
it easily stands alone.

the Israelites’ time in the wilderness, as they near the Promise Land
Ms. Towriss writes with rich, descriptive narrative, that

taste the manna, to experience the putting up and taking down of tents, and
walking miles every day, to the emotions, fears, and blessings the Israelites
experience. If you like biblical fiction, you won’t want to miss BY THE WATERS
OF KADESH. $14.99. 274 pages.
