About this book
An impulsive clash with Jerusalem's guards sends Ezrom away from his family after he vows to change his conduct. This opening introduces Erasmus W. Jones's biblical historical fiction through personal shame, affection between siblings, and the demands of public order. The narrative moves from Judah to Babylon, placing questions of faith and government within a story associated with Daniel and the young Hebrews.
Later, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah discuss a royal command that threatens their freedom to worship according to their beliefs. Their conversation weighs gratitude to the king against loyalty to God, giving the book a clear religious and moral purpose. Jones explains in his preface that he uses familiar conversational language to address the faults of his own time.
