An historical novel By Aggie Villanueva Originally published by Thomas Nelson, recently reprinted by Aggie Villanueva Available at: aggiev.org/rightfullymine Let us enter into an era in Israeli history where anticipation is a palpable hum, where the bedouin lifestyle gives way to the birth of a nation, a promised nation, where men gear up for war: The era between their forty-year wandering and their victories over Canaan. After wandering in the plague-ridden desert for forty years the Israelites are preparing to move on at last to the Promised Land. But when Moses divides the new land among the men of Israel, it is Rizpah (called Noah in Numbers 27) who has the courage to fight for her family of sisters. It was an unexpected blow to realize that the Promised Land was being divided all right, but only between the men. Rizpah must stand against an entire nation of men to earn for her and her sisters what is rightfully theirs. And into this era in the Bible that is often brushed over I seamlessly weave into the plot a love story of Rhett-Scarlett-Ashley proportions. This is a women’s equal rights amendment straight out of history, and handed down straight from the throne of God. How much more do we need to understand the great worth of women, and our worth to God throughout history, today and evermore.
