The Journey to Canaan series by Carole Towriss covers the Israelites’ long passage from Egypt to the promised land. Beginning with In the Shadow of Sinai, the series opens at the base of Mount Sinai as the Israelites receive the law and prepare to move north. By the Waters of Kadesh picks up the story as the people face doubt and rebellion in the desert, and The Walls of Arad brings the journey toward its close.
Each book blends a fictional romance with the larger biblical narrative. Towriss draws on archaeological research and biblical scholarship to recreate daily life in the ancient Near East, from food and clothing to the social structures of a nomadic people.
