The Woman Warrior: Deborah's Story

For twenty long years the people of Israel have turned their back on their God. They have forgotten their covenant promise to worship only Him, and to keep themselves separate, a holy people dedicated to the One who led them out of Egypt. Their lives have become tainted by their worship of the baals. As a result, Yahweh seems to have withdrawn His arm of protection.

When the oppression of the Canaanites grows worse, the attacks on Israel more frequent and more violent, the desperate people cry out to the God they have forgotten. They beg for a deliverer, for a prophet, a judge who will draw them back into the safety of their covenant relationship. God hears their cries.

He sends Deborah.
