by Brian Godawa (Author)

The Supernatural Story of Hanukkah.

A supernatural epic novel about the Abomination of Desolation predicted by the Bible prophet Daniel that was fulfilled in the books of the Maccabees in the Apocrypha.

This is Part 1 of 2 novels.

In Israel, reluctant Jewish mercenary warrior Judah Maccabee falls in love with a beautiful and passionate Greek convert to Judaism, Sophia.

They marry and settle down to start a family around Judah's four brothers and their father in Jerusalem.

But Judah is faced with the growing oppression of Greek Seleucid king Antiochus Epiphanes, who sets up the Abomination of Desolation in the Jerusalem temple: an altar of idolatry.

Then the king forces the Jews to give up their Torah Scriptures, as well as their religious devotion or they will die.

Judah is forced to make a choice between obedience to the wicked government for peace and safety or obedience to God with the danger of losing his wife, his family, and his country.
