A brilliant work of biblical fiction by Dorothy Clarke Wilson, Moses, The Prince of Egypt was immediately embraced by the public when first published in 1949 (as Prince of Egypt). The novel became an inspiration for the 1956 film, The Ten Commandments -- now a classic in its own right. It is a wonderfully entertaining and well-researched story of Moses from his teenage years through early manhood when he rejects his royal lifestyle upon learning of his Hebrew birth and becomes a shepherd among his own people. After centuries of slavery and bondage, with God's help, Moses eventually leads the...

In this dramatic work, a provocative insight is provided into the life of Jesus as perceived through the eyes of his brother, James. Historically, this was a time when Israelites awaited the coming of a Messiah who would remove the yoke of Roman bondage. The Brothers were brought up to adhere to the strict rules of Jewish Law. But Jesus began listening to what was in his heart and showed compassion towards those in need, even if doing so resulted in breaking the Law. For example, Jesus would carry food to lepers on the Sabbath which was considered work and, thus, against the Law. As...

From the pages of Biblical history comes a story of power, pride, evil, and good told with great vividness and suspense by Dorothy Clarke Wilson. Few women have equaled Jezebel's combination of beauty and wickedness, and few have been as successful in seducing the men in their lives.

Steeped in the mood and spirit of an ancient culture, Jezebel uses flattery and deceit to lure her husband,...

A compelling biography of a British-born young lady who in 1961, at the age of twenty-three, contracted a rare nerve disease (myasthenia gravis) which eventually left her unable to move any body part, except for slight movements in her big toes. To most, she presented a hopeless case, but not to Hilary and not to a young medical researcher who designed a novel communication system featuring an electric typewriter and other sensitive electronics which allowed Hilary to not only to communicate with the outside world, but to control other elements of her life such as the ability to turn on and...

A dramatic portrayal about the life of Jesus as a twelve-year-old Hebrew boy (the age of manhood). Jesus spends most of his time as a carpenter in his father's shop in Nazareth and in studying Jewish spiritual laws in preparation to becoming a rabbi.

To each Jesus gives his material...
