Within the Palace Gates
Within the Palace Gates tells the story of Nehemiah, cupbearer to King Artexerxes.
Anna Siviter weaves the rich tapestry of the ancient Persian court into the backdrop of life within the palace gates.
She tells the intriguing story of none other than Artaxerxes’s own noble cup bearer, Nehemiah. Through the story, we begin to grasp the deep significance of Nehemiah’s devotion to God. His faithfulness to Jerusalem and to his people shines.
Readers get a breathtaking glimpse of life in Babylon and the king’s court. They see the difficulty of life for the Hebrew people who were left behind in a crumbling Jerusalem. This engaging story gradually builds until it’s hard to put down; but far beyond its plot, is the story’s sacred focus.
