This is the story of a handful of boys in 650BC Israel who encounterlifes challenges head on. Good friends, family, faith in God andtrust that total strangers can be relied upon even when thereseems to be no other choice.Perhaps family life 2650 years ago was not as different as wehope to see them today. Husbands are commanded to love theirwives, sons adore their fathers, and daughters display the Godlikefeminine qualities of their mothers. But regardless of the timeswe live in, life is full of hardship and danger. How we react to thatdanger tells the lord and mankind who we really are.Jacob listened for an hour or more, putting together the story asthey talked on and off about why they were here and who had sentthem. Finally he decided that is was futile to try to save anyone:evidently there was no one left to save. As far as he knew he wasthe sole survivor of the once proud little village of Hamadi. It washard for him to control his emotions as he sat in his hiding placeand listen to the soldiers talk of the atrocities they had performedupon his people, but then his thoughts turned to Lehi and Ishmael.
