Ascent Summary and Sample

Israel has reached the Promised Land. 

Ascent follows Israel from the first steps into Canaan through the turbulent years of the Judges and into the rise of the kingdom.

Along the way, familiar stories unfold beside lives and events that are often passed over, revealing how victory, failure, loyalty, ambition, mercy, and consequence repeatedly shape what comes next.

Through it all, Israel continues learning what it means to live as the people of God.

This is the ascent of a nation—and the complicated human story behind its rise.

The goal of these books is not literary flourish.
The goal is to reflect the message of the Scriptures as accurately and effectively as possible, while allowing the people, events, and circumstances to come to life.
