Egypt stands at the height of its power, yet unseen forces are already shaping the future. Beyond the splendor of the royal court, lives are being prepared, choices are being made, and destinies are quietly converging toward an event that will change history.
Told through the eyes of Nebunefer, the rightful heir who relinquishes Egypt's throne to his half-brother Ramoses, So Moses Was Born follows a man who willingly renounces power and position in order to pursue a deeper calling. As the years unfold, Nebunefer becomes witness to the hidden currents moving beneath the surface of Egyptian life-currents that will ultimately lead to the birth of one of the most influential figures in human history.
Rather than retelling the familiar story of Moses, Joan Grant illuminates the world into which he was born and the extraordinary men and women whose lives prepared the way for his coming. A richly imagined portrait of ancient Egypt, So Moses Was Born illuminates the hidden lives, choices, and sacrifices that prepared the way for one of history's most influential figures.
