Avraham Azrieli's DEBORAH RISING Set for Release, 9/27

Deborah's father dreamed that his daughter would one day become a prophet of the God of the Israelites. But the social and religious mores of her time dictated that a woman must marry-even against her will-and obey her husband. When Deborah is forced into an engagement with the violent son of her local judge, the young Hebrew woman rebels, determined to forge a path of her own.

Captivated by the notion of escaping the arranged marriage and fulfilling her father's dream, Deborah embarks upon an epic journey across the desert to find a mysterious elixirist, one rumored to be blessed with the gift of turning women into men. It is a journey that proves increasingly perilous-filled with wild beasts, lustful men, unscrupulous priests, and warring tribesmen. Yet Deborah discovers that she is not alone; an unlikely coterie of lepers, slaves, Moabite traders, and even a dead tiger come to her aid and defense along the way.

Part traditional biblical novel, part adventure, part visionary fiction, Deborah Rising (September 27, 2016; E-Book; ISBN 9780062563552) is a captivating tale about the early life of one of the most famous figures from the Old Testament-a woman of courage and spirit whose battle to overcome discrimination, sexism, and paternalism speaks to the lives of women today.
